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 townComing home after school

Flying my bike past the gates

Of the factories

My mom doing the laundry

Hanging our shirts in the dirty breezeAnd 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 townNothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little townIn my little town, I never meant nothin'

I was just my father's son

Saving my money, dreaming of glory

Twitching like a finger

On the trigger of a gunLeaving nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little townNothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little townNothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

In my little town
