My Hometown

In the style of

Bruce Springsteen

Lyrics

i was eight years old
and runnin' with
a dime in my hand
into the bus stop
to pick
up a paper
for my old man

i'd sit on his lap
in that big old buick
and steer
as we drove
through town

he'd tousle my hair
and say son take
a good look around
this is your hometown
this is your hometown
this is your hometown
this is your hometown

in '65 tension was
runnin' high
at my
high school

there was
a lot of fights
between the
black and white
there was nothin'
you could do

two cars at a light
on a saturday night
in the backseat
there was a gun

words were passed
in a shotgun blast
troubled times
had come
to my hometown
to my hometown
to my hometown
to my hometown

now main street's
whitewashed
windows
and vacant stores
seems like
there ain't nobody
wants to come
down here no more

they're closin' down
the textile mill
across the
railroad tracks

foreman says
these jobs
are goin' boys
and they ain't
comin' back

to your hometown
to your hometown
to your hometown
to your hometown

last night me and kate
we laid in bed
talkin' 'bout
gettin' out
packin' up
our bags maybe
headin' south

i'm thirty-five
we got a boy
of our own now
last night i sat him up
behind the wheel
and said son take
a good look around
this is your hometown
