[Verse 1]
G C G D
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
D G D C
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
G C G D
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
D G D C
He'd tousle my hair and he'd say son take a good look around
[Refrain]
G C G D
This is your hometown, your home town
D G D C G
This is your hometown, your home town, this is your home town

In 65 tension was running high at my high school
D G D C
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 was a gun
D G D C
Words were passed a shotgun blast / troubled times had come
[Refrain]

To my hometown, my home town,
D G D C G
My hometown, my home town, 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 back to

Your hometown, your home town,
D G D C G
your hometown, your home town, your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
D G D C
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
[Refrain]

This is your hometown, your home town,
D G D C G
your hometown, your home town, your hometown
