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

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
        A               E/A A

This is your hometown,          this

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

Foreman says these jobs are going 
boys and they ain't coming back to
