cross canadian ragweed song?

could it be this it is called "my hometown" by charlie robinson

Well, i had a buddy back in '81,

and we made ourselves a pact.

We were headin' for the new pipelines,

we weren't never comin' back.

well we worked 80 hours making time and a half,

but La Grange was too damn hot.

we drove back home at the end of that week

and we spent it all on pot.

Chorus:

I'll see you in houston, if i ever get out that way,

i'll see you in dallas, but i wont have long to stay,

if ur ever out west soon, and ur feeling like slowing down,

i'll see you around, around my hometown.

Well, i played ball every single fall,

i could run just like the wind.

Went to college like they asked me too

but they didn't ask my friends.

dont think i seen a single classroom,

but i drank a lot of beer.

buddies still love to listen to me when i talk about that year.

Chorus:

so i'll see you in houston, if i'm ever get out that way.

i'll see you in dallas, but i wont have long to stay,

if you're ever out west soon, and you're feeling like slowing down.

i'll see you around, around my hometown.

Now i got myself a little band, and we're pretty good i guess

but i never learned how to wear my hair, and i never learned how to dress.

so i'm leaving for the last time honey,i'm never more to rome.

gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time gonna head my *** back home.

Chorus:

so i'll see you in Nashville, if i ever get out that way.

i'll see you in Austin, but i wont have long to stay,

if ur ever out west soon, and ur feeling like slowin down.

i'll see you around, around my hometown.

i'll see you around, around my hometown

17 Cross Canadian Ragweed Lyrics

As others have said, Ragweed does have a song called "17."

Checking that song out is probably your best bet.

Well, Ragweed does have a song called "17" but it mentions nothing about a pipeline.

Here are the lyrics:

Sirens wail and a flashing light:

Nothin' better to do on a Tuesday night,

But give me hell.

Where you headed, what are you out for?

Don't see much of you 'round here anymore.

I guess it's just as well.

Once upon a time you had it all:

You let everybody down.

You're always seventeen in your hometown.

Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law.

Runnin' from love; runnin' from your fears; runnin' from it all.

You keep on runnin' boy, you'll run yourself in the ground.

You're always seventeen in your hometown.

Her porch swing still looks the same,

She probably won't even remember my name.

Just like she didn't back then.

Is she married, is she doin' fine?

Does she know about all the nights I laid awake cryin',

Just to know her hand?

The door opens and I run away,

Just like the same old clown.

You're always seventeen in your hometown.

Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law.

Runnin' from love; runnin' from your fears; runnin' from it all.

You keep on runnin' boy, you'll run yourself in the ground.

You're always seventeen in your hometown.

Well, nobody's gonna miss me.

No tears will fall; no-one's gonna weep,

When I hit that road.

My boots are broken, my brain is sore,

From keeping up with their little world:

I got a heavy load.

Gonna leave 'em all just like before,

I'm big city bound.

You're always seventeen in your hometown.

Runnin' from your folks, runnin' from the law.

Runnin' from love; runnin' from your fear; runnin' from it all.

You keep on runnin' boy, you'll run yourself in the ground.

You're always seventeen,

Yeah, you're always seventeen:

You're always seventeen in your hometown.
