My Town

(专辑： Country Goes Metal - 2023)

There's a "For Sale" sign on a big old rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see
Just up the road, a pale-blue water tower
With "I Love Jenny" painted in bright green
Hey, that's my Uncle Bill, there by the courthouse
He'll be lowering the flag when the sun goes down

And this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)

Where I was born, where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cos I got mad
An' it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
Where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
(My town)

There ain't much going on here since they closed the mill
But that whistle still blows every day at noon
A bunch of us still go down to the diner
Wonder if that interstate's still coming through
Come Sunday morning service, at the Church of Christ
There ain't an empty seat to be found

And this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)

Where I was born, where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cos I got mad
An' it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
Where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)

Well, I bought and painted up that rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's sitting right there in my yard
The County came and took that water tower
And that's Jenny, with a baby, in the car
We're off to Sunday service at the Church of Christ
And if we want a seat, we better leave right now
And maybe later we could show you around

Our town
Yeah, this is my town

Where I was born, where I was raised
Where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cos I got mad
An' it came to blows with my old man
Where I came back to settle down
Where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na, na, na, na, na)
This is my town
This is my town
Yeah, this is my town
This is my town
