Hometown (家乡) - BFM Hits[00:00:00]
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand[00:00:17]
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man[00:00:25]
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick[00:00:34]
And steer as we drove through town[00:00:38]
He'd tousle my hair[00:00:42]
And say son take a good look around this is your hometown[00:00:44]
This is your hometown[00:00:55]
This is your hometown[00:00:59]
This is your hometown[00:01:03]
In '65 tension was running high at my high school[00:01:12]
There was a lot of fights between the black and white[00:01:21]
There was nothing you could do[00:01:25]
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night[00:01:29]
In the back seat there was a gun[00:01:33]
Words were passed in a shotgun blast[00:01:38]
Troubled times had come to my hometown[00:01:42]
My hometown[00:01:51]
My hometown[00:01:55]
My hometown[00:01:59]
Now main street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores[00:02:07]
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more[00:02:16]
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks[00:02:25]
Foreman says these jobs are going boys[00:02:33]
And they ain't coming back to your hometown[00:02:37]
Your hometown[00:02:46]
Your hometown[00:02:50]
Your hometown[00:02:54]
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed[00:03:03]
Talking about getting out[00:03:07]
Packing up our bags maybe heading south[00:03:11]
I'm thirty five we got a boy of our own now[00:03:20]
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel[00:03:28]
And said son take a good look around[00:03:32]
This is your hometown[00:03:39]
