I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand E/A A E/A A D A E
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man Esus E Esus E A D
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town E/A A E/A A D A E
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around Esus E Esus E A D
This is your hometown, this is your hometown A E/A A D A E
This is your hometown, this is your hometown Esus E Esus E A D E/A A
In `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 F#m E/A A E/A A
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more F#m E/A A E/A A
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks D E/A A E/A A
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to D A E
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 said son take a good look around This is your hometown
