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

In that big old Buick I’d sit on his lap and steer through town

He’d tousle my hair and say “Son, take a good look around”

This is your hometown

This is your hometown

Your hometown

This is your hometown

In ’65 tension was running high at my high school

There was a lot of fights between the black and white

There was nothin’ 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

To my hometown

My hometown

To my hometown

Now Main Street’s white-washed windows and vacant stores

Seems like there ain’t nobody wants to come down here no more

They closed down the textile mill ‘cross the little Texas tracks

Foreman said “These jobs are goin’ boys, and they ain’t comin’ back”

To your hometown

To your hometown

To your hometown

To your hometown

Last night me and Mary we laid in bed

Talked about getting out

Packin’ up our bags, maybe headin’ south

I’m 35 and we got a boy of our own now

Last night we drove him downtown and said

“Son, take a good look around”

“This is your hometown”

“This is your hometown”

“This is your hometown”

“This is your hometown”

“And though the world you may travel all around”

“This is your hometown”
