Full Song

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

G D

And your mama’s gonna cry when you break the news

And your friends are all gonna say I’m crazy

But they don’t know me like I know you

Chorus

G C

But I can’t love you more than my hometown

G C

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

Em C

So take my hand or take your chance

Go chase that California romance

Em C

I’ll be right here where I’ve always been

With a front porch view and my old friends

Chorus

G C

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

G D

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