My Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a for sale sign on a big old rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see
Just up the road, a pale-blue water tower
With I Love Jenny painted in bright green
Hey, that's my Uncle Bill, there by the courthouse
He'll be lowerin' the flag when the Sun goes down
And this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Hey!
Where I was born, where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cos I got mad
An' it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
My town
There ain't much goin' on here since they closed the mill
But that whistle still blows ev'ry day at noon
A bunch of us still go down to the diner
I wonder if that interstate's still comin' through
Come Sunday morning service, at the Church of Christ
Well there ain't an empty seat to be found
And this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Where I was born, where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cos I got mad
An' it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
My town
Well, I bought and painted up that rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's sittin' right there in our yard
The County came and took that water tower
And that's Jenny, with a baby, in the car
Ah, we're off to Sunday service at the Church of Christ
And if we want a seat, we better leave right now
And maybe later, me an old T-roy will show you around
Our town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, where I was born, where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cos I got mad
An' it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
