Never thought I'd call somewhere
So far away from home, home
Or love the view of a new Main Street
Like people do, I pulled up roots
Truth is, I didn't know if they could grow
With different dirt underneath my feet

But you put the spark in the front porch light
You put the buzz in a Friday night
You put the stay here with you
Maybe add a few to the population sign
You put the sparkle in the stars
You put the true in my true heart
You put the peace in this piece of ground
You put the home in hometown
You put the home in hometown

It's almost like that one stop light
In Elgin, Oklahoma was winking
When it was blinking at me
Like it knew if I stayed with you
No way I'd go wrong, I'd be home
Wherever you might be

'Cause you put the spark in the front porch light
You put the buzz in a Friday night
You put the stay here with you
Maybe add a few to the population sign
You put the sparkle in the stars
You put the true in my true heart
You put the peace in this piece of ground
You put the home in hometown
You put the home in hometown

You put the spark in the front porch light
You put the buzz in a Friday night
You put the stay here with you
Maybe add a few to the population sign
You put the sparkle in the stars
You put the true in my true heart
You put the peace in this piece of ground
You put the home in hometown
You put the home in hometown
You put the home in hometown
You put the home in hometown
