Our Town

We played cops and robbers in the streets around our house It was fun and games back then, but it ain't funny now Here in our town Just a bunch of kids skipping church and acting so cool But now we're lighting candles on a Friday afternoon Here in our town We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags When we pledge allegiance, we take off our hats Here in our town We say "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" We love, we don't hate That world that's gone crazy, it don't have a place Here in our town Here in our town The only color we care about is that football jersey blue So I don't know who the hell that is up there on the news That ain't our town We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags When we pledge allegiance, we take off our hats Here in our town We say "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" We love, we don't hate That world that's gone crazy, it don't have a place Here in our town Here in our town We're better than these Tougher than tough We might get knocked down But we get back up Oh, yeah We've been raised in the shadows of crosses and flags When we pledge allegiance, we take off our hats Here in our town, our town yeah We say "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" We love, we don't hate That world that's gone crazy, it don't have a place Here in our town Here in our town Yeah
