Me and all my friends down by the river,
14 running through the streets,
living on a prayer in a teenage wasteland,
trying not to bust at the seams.
We were so young,
so low,
trying to get high,
praying up above that our dreams never die,
putting that Jeep in a four-wheel drive,
shining like stars in the sky.
Cause we grew up in this town,
yeah we screwed up in this town,
had each other's backs when
we got off track, man, life moves fast.
In this town,
baby,
I could never get away,
I don't wanna leave,
but you know I can't stay.
There's something about these hills and those
country roads that make me feel at home.
In this town,
we laughed,
we cried,
we stayed out all night,
we did everything wrong,
but
we turned out alright, baby, it's bittersweet.
You can take me out of this town,
but you can't take this town out of me.
Out of me,
out of me,
but you can't take this town out of me.
Some of us move on, some get locked up,
and some don't make it out.
I think about those days when we'd just
meet up at Adam's house and ride around.
We were so young,
so lost,
trying to get by,
couldn't tell us nothing,
we had too much
pride,
spending our weekends working part-time,
we were just trying to survive.
Cause we were raised in this town,
learned how to pray in this town,
seen my friends
die, seen mamas cry, still asking why.
In this town, baby, I could never get away,
I don't wanna leave, but you know I can't
stay.
There's something about these hills and those country
roads that make me feel at home.
In this town,
we laughed,
we cried,
we stayed out all night,
we did everything wrong,
but
we turned out alright, baby, it's bittersweet.
You can take me out of this town,
but you can't take this town out of me.
Out of me,
out of me,
but you can't take this town out of me.
Cause we grew up in this town,
we screwed up in this town,
I remember us the way it was,
it's always love.
In this town,
baby,
I could never get away,
I don't wanna leave,
but you
know I can't stay.
There's something about these hills and those country roads that make
me feel at home.
In this town,
we laughed,
we cried,
we stayed out all night,
we did everything
wrong,
but we turned out alright,
baby,
it's bittersweet.
You can take me out of this town,
but you can't take this town out of me.
Out of me,
out of me,
but you can't take this town
out of me.
