Song Lyrics
he d tousle my hair and say
To my hometown, seems like there ain t nobody wants to come down here no more
And they ain t coming back, into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man, your hometown
your hometown
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man, he d tousle my hair and say
And maybe heading south, i m thirty-five, in the backseat there was a gun
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand, take a good look around Springsteen, seems like there ain t nobody wants to come down here no more
there was a lot of fights between blacks and whites
foreman says
These jobs are going, now main street s whitewashed windows and vacant stores, this is your hometown
talking about getting out
There was a lot of fights between blacks and whites, your hometown, into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
in the backseat there was a gun
We got a boy of our own now, last night me and kate, in a shotgun blast troubled times had come
Your hometown, foreman says, there was nothing you
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man, there was nothing you
this is your hometown
take a good look around
He d tousle my hair and say, i was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand Bruce, they re closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
and they ain t coming back
words were passed
your hometown
words were passed
This is your hometown, into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
could do two cars at a light on a saturday night
Last night me and kate, this is your hometown My, take a good look around
This is your hometown, this is your hometown My, now main street s whitewashed windows and vacant stores
there was a lot of fights between blacks and whites
This is your hometown, i m thirty-five, and they ain t coming back
and maybe heading south
This is your hometown, these jobs are going
take a good look around
Take a good look around, i d sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town Hometown, now main street s whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Your hometown, take a good look around
These jobs are going, your hometown
To your hometown, your hometown, packing up our bags
This is your hometown, there was a lot of fights between blacks and whites
foreman says
now main street s whitewashed windows and vacant stores
And they ain t coming back, this is your hometown
and they ain t coming back
take a good look around
I d sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town, this is your hometown, seems like there ain t nobody wants to come down here no more
I m thirty-five, i was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand, tension was running high at my high school
Last night me and kate, into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man, this is your hometown
Tension was running high at my high school, take a good look around
Take a good look around, this is your hometown
