My Hometown (live) Lyrics

[00:18.87]	I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
[00:26.67]	Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
[00:34.42]	I′d sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
[00:42.66]	He′d tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown
[00:54.72]	This is your hometown
[00:59.29]	This is your hometown
[01:03.85]	This is your hometown
[01:12.11]	In `65 tension was running high at my high school
[01:19.60]	There was a lot of fights between the black and white
[01:24.29]	There was nothing you could do
[01:28.03]	Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
[01:37.01]	Words were passed in a shotgun blast
[01:39.88]	Troubled times had come to my hometown
[01:48.32]	My hometown
[01:52.45]	My hometown
[01:56.07]	My hometown
[02:04.84]	Now Main Street′s whitewashed windows and vacant stores
[02:12.38]	Seems like there ain′t nobody wants to come down here no more
[02:20.70]	They′re closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
[02:28.57]	Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain′t coming back to your hometown
[02:41.38]	Your hometown
[02:45.45]	Your hometown
[02:49.51]	Your hometown
[02:57.57]	Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
[03:03.20]	talking about getting out
[03:06.20]	Packing up our bags maybe heading south
[03:13.76]	I′m thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
[03:21.45]	Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
[03:32.06]	This is your hometown
[03:33.99]

[00:18.87]	I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
[00:26.67]	Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
