All: My Home Town (x7)
Doug:
Well, My Home Town is Denver, Colorado
Right up close to God, Oh
It's about a mile high
It's pure and clean nestled up there in The Rockies
When you hear a native talk, he's
Lookin' you right in the eye
And you know, if I could be anywhere,
I'd be there
All: My Home Town (x4)
D.C.:
Well, My Home Town is Chicago, Illinois
Which only goes to show why
I'm a broad shouldered guy
It's the railroad hub
It's the backbone of the nation
When the wind blows in your face, ya
Never even blink an eye
And you know, if I could be anywhere,
I'd be there

When it's foggy in the morn, ya
Smell that salty ocean air

All:
Well, now we live in Los Angeles, California
The home of soft core porn, yeah
Where the sky is blue and gray
On a good day
And, that's the place where we plan to make a million
Gotta make that great big kill ya know
Before we move away
Still ya know
Since we can't be everywhere
We're glad to be
Anywhere but there!
