My Hometown lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics My Hometown lyrics I was eight years old and running 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 hometownIn 65 tension was running high at my high school There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do Two cars at a light on a Saturday night, in the back seat there was a gun Words were passed, in a shotgun blast Troubled times had come, to my hometown My hometown My hometown 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 closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain t coming backto your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Last night me and Kate we laid in bed Talking about getting out Packing up our bags maybe heading south I m thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and saidson take a good look around, this is your hometown song lyrics
