My Hometown Lyrics


Two, threeThis song goes out to my good friends
Especially the ones I had
Before the Grammy nominations in two thousand three
And to all the girls from back in high school
Who actually spoke to me
Even though I was a fat kid and a marching band geekI hope this song finds you well
And I hope that you're doin' fuckin' swell
I hope that you're back up if you've ever been down
And I hope you got the fuck out of our hometownHere comes a shout out to the professor
Who said,"Son, pick a path and stay the same
'Cause charisma is the key to opportunity"
And to all the clubs that let us play
To our family and friends and the music stores
For giving us gear when we couldn't payI hope this song finds you well
And I hope that you're doin' fuckin' swell
I hope that you're back up if you've ever been down
(Aaa)
And I hope you got the fuck out of our hometownYou know I can't count

How many times I've heard people say
Be proud of where you're from, you're gonna put us on the map
But where the hell were you back in the day?
No one came to see us so we got the hell out of there
So thereYou have a de de de de de de de
This song goes out to my big brother
For putting up with me following you around
And for making me smile when things at home weren't great
And for not getting pissed when I humped your girlfriend
For letting me take your car to the prom
For beating up the guys that hung my bike in a tree
For hand me down albums and guitar with no strings
And for never beating the shit outta meI hope this song finds you well
And I hope that you're doin' fuckin' swell
I hope that you're back up 'cause I know you've been down
I just wish you'd get the fuck out of our hometown
I hope you get the fuck out of our hometown
I'm so glad I got the fuck out of our hometownYou know what I'm talkin' about
Don't ya? Dammit

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
