Hometowns Fault
Rooted in Grace: Embracing Life's Lessons from My Hometown
Lyrics
I still hold the door and say yes ma'am
I have a polite and respectful demeanor, holding doors and using "yes ma'am."
Yea I learned that
I acquired this behavior.
From my old man
My father influenced my manners and values.
Figured out that summer sweat paid off in the fall
Hard work during summer yields rewards in the fall.
But I learned more from Coach Carter
Coach Carter taught me more than just sports.
Then how to play ball
Life lessons from Coach Carter, not just athletic skills.
If you wonder how I got this way
If you're curious about my character, look at where I come from.
Then take one look at this place
The environment I grew up in defines me.
I can’t help it’s who I am
My identity is shaped by my origins.
Can’t pull my roots from this land
I'm deeply rooted in my hometown and can't disconnect from it.
By the grace of god
My existence is influenced by divine intervention and luck.
And a little bit of luck
Grateful for luck and divine grace.
A few good friends
Valuable friendships and abundant love in my life.
And a whole lotta love
Love plays a significant role in my upbringing.
That’s how I was raised
My upbringing involved a combination of love and life lessons.
And that’s what I was taught
These are the principles instilled in me.
If there’s anyone to blame
If there's blame to assign, it's because of my hometown.
It’s my Hometowns Fault
Attributing my qualities to the influence of my hometown.
Grandma taught me how to hit my knees when times get tough
Grandma taught me to turn to prayer during difficult times.
Still keep that pass down bible in the cab of my truck
I still keep a cherished Bible in my truck.
And us good old boys yea we had a few beers
Enjoying a few beers with old friends.
Yea we still got each others back after all these years
Loyalty among friends has endured over the years.
I can’t help it’s who I am
My identity is deeply connected to my roots.
Can’t pull my roots from this land
I cannot detach from the land that shaped me.
By the grace of god
Gratitude for divine influence in my life.
And a little bit of luck
Luck has played a role in shaping who I am.
A few good friends
Valuing the importance of genuine friendships.
And a whole lotta love
Love is a significant factor in my life.
That’s how I was raised
My upbringing involved love, friends, and life lessons.
And that’s what I was taught
The principles instilled in me during my upbringing.
If there’s anyone to blame
If there's blame, it's because of the influence of my hometown.
It’s my Hometowns Fault
Attributing my qualities to the influence of my hometown.
Finally met a girl makes my world go round
Found a girl who adds joy to my life.
Yea wouldn’t you know it she’s from the same old town
Surprisingly, she's from the same hometown.
I can’t help it’s who I am
My identity is deeply connected to my roots.
Can’t pull my roots from this land
I cannot detach from the land that shaped me.
By the grace of god
Gratitude for divine influence in my life.
And a little bit of luck
Luck has played a role in shaping who I am.
A few good friends
Valuing the importance of genuine friendships.
And a whole lotta love
Love is a significant factor in my life.
That’s how I was raised
My upbringing involved love, friends, and life lessons.
And that’s what I was taught
The principles instilled in me during my upbringing.
If there’s anyone to blame
If there's blame, it's because of the influence of my hometown.
It’s my Hometowns Fault
Attributing my qualities to the influence of my hometown.
I still hold the door and say yes ma'am
I maintain politeness and respect, learned from my father.
Yea I learned that from my old man
Reinforcement of learned behavior from my father.
