Intro:
LA      RE LA MI      LA MI RE

      LA

I was eight years old
                   RE   LA    MI

And running with a dime in my hand
              
To the bus stop to pick
               LA MI  RE

Up a paper for my old man
    LA                             
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
     RE         LA            MI

And steer as we drove through town

He'd tousle my hair
                      LA   MI    RE

And say, "son, take a good look around"
        LA
This is your hometown
        RE   LA  MI

This is your hometown

This is your hometown
        LA       RE     LA

This is your hometown

    LA
In '65 tension was running high
   RE LA   MI

At my high school

There was a lot of fights
   
Between the black and white
          LA      MI        RE

There was nothing you could do
    LA 
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
       RE        LA          MI

In the back seat there was a gun

Words were passed in a shotgun blast 
         LA    MI  RE

Troubled times had come
   LA
To my hometown
   RE LA  MI

To my hometown

To my hometown
   LA MI  RE     LA

To my hometown

    FA#m                       
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows
    LA
And vacant stores
      FA#m
Seems like there ain't nobody
              LA
Wants to come down here no more
        RE               
They're closing down the textile mill
       LA
Across the railroad tracks
        RE
Foreman says, "these jobs are going, boys
    LA                MI

And they ain't coming back

   LA
To your hometown
   RE   LA  MI

To your hometown

To your hometown
   LA   MI  RE    LA

To your hometown

     LA                           
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
RE            LA      MI

Talking about getting out
                           LA MI   RE

Packing up our bags, maybe heading south
    LA                           RE  LA  MI

I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
                       
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
           LA          MI         RE

And said, "son, take a good look around
        LA
This is your hometown"

RE LA MI      LA MI RE

LA     RE LA MI     LA MI RE
