Lyrics for My Hometown by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | My Hometown | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 175 | | | | 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
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and
Steer as we drove
through town
He'd tousle my hari and say son take a
good look around this is your
hometown
This is your hometown
This is 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 nothing you could do
Two cars at light on a
Saturday night,
In the back seat there wasa gun
Words were passed, in a shotgun
blast
Troubled times had come, to my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My
hometown
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
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Last night me and
Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags and maybe heading
south
I'm 35, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up, behind the
wheel
And said son take a goold look around,
This is your hometown | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
