Lyrics

Livermore CA 

Have you ever been to my hometown, Livermore CA? Have you ever seen her rolling hills, or crossed her fertile plains? How many of her people might cross your path each day, working hard and living proud in Livermore, CA. 

There’s a certain kind of magic that happens every time you watch the morning sunrise through the dew drops on the vines. With the help of Mother Nature and the gift of Father Time, you will taste the sunshine in our Livermore Valley wine. 

And I’m proud say that Livermore, California’s where I live, with family and friends and neighbors, taking time enough to give. A helping hand to anyone who needs some love along the way, I am taking pride in my hometown, that’s Livermore, CA. 

For those of you with children, there is one thing you should know. No better place to settle down and watch your children grow. Every time I kiss my babies and I send them out to play, I thank my lucky stars that I’m from Livermore, CA. 

And we’re flying high in the summertime when the air show comes to town. And don’t you know that our rodeo is the hottest thing around? We’ll take a trip up to Del Valle, or maybe downtown to the show. There is always something going on, wherever you care to go. 

You can talk about your city lights and brag about your style. But we’d rather have the stars at night and walk a country mile, In the silver glow of moonlight, where the air is fresh and sweet. And you can keep your city life, and your crowded city streets. 

Now you may think it’s foolish to carry on this way - who cares about ol’ Livermore, California, anyway? Let me ask you one thing, friend, if this is your hometown. Why not stand up straight and tall and sing it right out loud? 

And be proud to say that Livermore, California, is where you live. With family and friends and neighbors, taking time enough to give. A helping hand to anyone who needs some love along the way, We’re taking pride in our hometown, that’s Livermore, CA. We’re taking pride in our hometown, Livermore, CA.
