She grew up around here
on that southwest side
Where the corn grows
up to the road side
Went to high school here
got that Panther pride
She'll be cheering them
on every Friday night
She couldn't hide her beauty
with a baseball cap
Couldn't help
but shine with a heart like that
New York called
when she turned 21
But she never forgot
where she came from
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
With a ribbon tying back
those waterfall curls
I've been looking all over
all over the world
For a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
Her mamma's mamma
was born right here
And her roots run deeper
than that old town square
She's a good girl
but she's not uptight
She can rise and shine
and she can hang all night
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
With a ribbon tying back
those waterfall curls
I've been looking all over
all over the world
For a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
She's got an old soul
She's the salt of the earth
When she gives her love
she knows what it's worth
There's a lot of pretty girls
out there to me
But there's nothing
like the one right
across the street
need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
With a ribbon tying back
those waterfall curls
I've been looking all over
all over the world
For a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
I need a pretty little homegrown
hometown girl
