Hometown
Mr A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder what she sees in me
I'm hanging on so tightly
To all of the things that we could be
I see you and me baby
Biscuits and Gravy
At the Hometown Buffet
So sweet and savory
When you say you love me
Will I ever get the chance
To tell you I love too?
While we eating all we can
Together in our little Hometown booth
Will we get to fall in love?
Our hearts as big as dinner plates
You and me, baby
My Hometown Lady
Eat our troubles away
At the Hometown Buffet (la la la, la la la ooo)
Biscuits, gravy (la la la, la la la oooo)
At the Hometown Buffet (la la la, la la la)
You and me (la la la, la la la ooooo)
At the Hometown Buffet (la la la, la la la ooo)
Biscuits, gravy (la la la, la la la oooo)
At the Hometown Buffet (la la la, la la la)
You and me (la la la, la la la ooooo)
