There's a break in the barbed wire fence On the edge of the Fuller farm Halfway between that cottonwood tree And what's left of that rusted out car There's a crack in the stained glass cross On the back of the fellowship hall And somebody wrote out "I love Jenny" On the Fourth Street sidewalk Every line, every inch, every mile, every bend of my hometown In my mind, in my veins, every breath that I take, it's in me now I want to know you like the back of my hand And when I fall, I want you to be my place to land I want to know that at the end of the day That I am yours, and that's never going to change That I'm safe and sound in your solid ground I want to know you now like in my hometown There's a million miles of you That I have never driven down And there are years and years before me So let it all come pouring out Every smile, every tear, every scar in the corners of your heart Every step that you take, every breath that makes you who you are I want to know you like the back of my hand And when I fall, I want you to be my place to land I want to know that at the end of the day That I am yours, and that's never going to change That I'm safe and sound in your solid ground I want to know you now like my hometown I want that city limit sign passing me by Feeling, driving down Main on a Friday night When I look into your eyes I want to know you like the back of my hand And when I fall, I want you to be my place to land I want to know that at the end of the day That I am yours, and that's never going to change That I'm safe and sound in your solid ground I want to know you now like in my hometown Like my hometown I want to know you now Like my hometown
