My Little Town

In my little town, I grew up believing

God keeps His eye on us all

And He used to lean upon me as I pledged allegiance to the wall

Lord, I recall, my little town

Comin' home after school

Flyin' my bike past the gates of the factories

My mom doin' the laundry

Hangin' our shirts in the dirty breeze

And after it rains, there's a rainbow

And all of the colors are black

It's not that the colors aren't there

It's just imagination they lack

Everything's the same back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town

In my little town

I never meant nothing, I was just my father's son

Savin' my money, dreamin' of glory

Twitchin' like a finger on the trigger of a gun

Leavin' nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
