  I was eight years old, and running with  

  A dime in my hand 

  To 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 

  This is your hometown 

  This is your home--town

  S2:
  In sixty five, 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 

  To my hometown 

  To my hometown 

  To my home--town

  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 

  To your hometown 

  To your hometown 

  To your home--town

  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 

  x---x---x- This is your hometown
