Hometown

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Falling down the streets of merry gold

Following my feet where they go

Thinking 'bout a home I used to know

It's like the door being slammed closed

I never fixed my life 'til now

Colored sign says you're moving out

Money might get you a seat in the front row

But it won't buy you what I know

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I hear the music coming through the floorboards

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The same music don't live here anymore

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Part of growing up was falling down

We used to dance it to the morning light

We used to live

We used to love life

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Got knocked out

But we ain't coming around

We used to burn it 'til the morning light

Now we're just working for the shirt and tie

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Now we're just working for the shirt and tie

Oh-oh-oh-oh

But it's not right

Holding up your life in a sleeping bag

Setting up your tent on the main drag

There was a day I thought I understood

Now I see my own face

Underneath the same hood

Did we lose where we were coming from?

We used to sing until our voices were gone

Drinking our fill from a half-filled cup

Turning it up 'cause it's not enough

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I hear the music coming through the floorboards

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The same music don't live here anymore

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Part of growing up was falling down

We used to dance it to the morning light

We used to live

We used to love life

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Got knocked out

But we ain't coming around

We used to burn it 'til the morning light

Now we're just working for the shirt and tie

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Now we're just working for the shirt and tie

Oh-oh-oh-oh

But it's not right

Whatever happened to my hometown?

Got knocked out

But we ain't coming around

We used to burn it 'til the morning light

Now we're just working for the shirt and tie

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Now we're just working for the shirt and tie

Oh-oh-oh-oh

But it's not right
