Verse 1

G C

You got a smile that could light up New York City

G D

A personality that could brighten up LA

G C

You got a future so bright, it’s burnin’ my eyes

D

And I know you’re gonna go places with or without me

Chorus

G C

But I can’t love you more than my hometown

G D

I can’t leave this soil where my roots run down

Em C G

I know your heart’s been telling you to go

D

And I could never tie you down

G C

No, I can’t love you more than my hometown

Verse 2

G C

I know your daddy’s probably gonna hate me

‘Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
