This old town's been home long as I remember
This town's gonna be here long after I'm gone
East side, West side, give up, or surrender
Been down but I still rock on...

Oh, and this town is my town alright
Love it, hate it, it don't matter
Gonna stand and fight
This town is my town
Ups and downs, this town
This is my town

This old town is where I learned about lovin'
This old town is where I learned to hate
This town, buddy, has done its share of shovin'
This town taught me it's never too late

Oh, and this town is my town alright
Love it, hate it, it don't matter
I'm gonna stand and fight
This town is my town
Got her ups and downs
This town, don't matter
This is my town

This town is my town
Love it, hate it, it don't matter
We're gonna stand and fight
This town is my town
She's got her ups and downs
This town, don't matter
This is my town
This is my town
Oh this is my town
This is my town
Oh this is Cleveland town

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
