Her Town

Brought her here to show her where I grew up
Never woulda thought she’d fall in love
So fast so hard at first sight
I could see it in her eyes

She heard church bells ring from a front porch swing
N’ we window shopped ‘n bought a few things
We walked we talked all day long
Thought she left guess I was wrong

Kickin’ myself askin’ why the hell did I ever let her
Go ‘n leave more than a memory all over forever
Like a ghost that haunts every place I go
Showin’ up to show me what I already know
Gettin’ over her ain’t as easy as it sounds
Might be my home but now it’s her town yeah it’s her town

We carved our names in a heart on a dogwood tree
Hung our jeans on branch when we swam in the creek
Held hands held on all night long
I was a goner then she got gone

Kickin’ myself askin’ why the hell did I ever let her
Go ‘n leave more than a memory all over forever
Like a ghost that haunts every place I go
Showin’ up to show me what I already know
Gettin’ over her ain’t as easy as it sounds
Might be my home but now it’s her town

It’s her back roads where the corn grows
Her dusty fields where the wind blows
Her sunrise where the rooster crows
Her riverbank where the river flows
Her moon light where the moon glows
Her thunder storm where the thunder rolls
Every square mile every square inch
Is painted with her fingertips

Kickin’ myself askin’ why the hell did I ever let her
Go ‘n leave more than a memory all over forever
Like a ghost that haunts every place I go
Showin’ up to show me what I already know
Gettin’ over her ain’t as easy as it sounds
Might be my home but now it’s her town It’s her town Parisi, Reuter © 2026
