[A] I was eight years old and running with a [D] [A] diamond mind.
[E]
I bust off the page, up a paper [A] from my mind.
[D]
[A] I sat on this line, that big old beautiful [D] steer as [A] we drove through [E] town.
Tied up my hair, say something, [A] good luck [D] around.
This is [A] your hometown, [F#m] this is [A] your [E] hometown, this is your hometown, [A] this is your [D] hometown.
I was nine and [A]
sixty-five, tension was running high [D] at my [A] [E]
school.
There was a lot of fights between the black and white, [A] there was nothing you [D] could do.
[A] Cars hit a light on a Saturday night, [D] in the backseat [A] there [C#m] was a [E] gun.
Words were passed, shotgun blasts, [A] troubled times they [D] had caused.
[A] My hometown, [D] my [A] [C#m] hometown, [E] my hometown, [A] my [D]
hometown.
[A]
[F#m] Our main street's a whitewashed window, [A] and vacant store.
[F#m] Seems like there ain't nobody, want to [A] come down here no more.
[D] They're closing down, the textile mill, [A] across the railroad tracks.
[D] Woman says these jobs are going boys, [A] and they ain't coming [E]
back.
[A] To your hometown, [D] to [A] your hometown, [E] to your hometown, [A] to your [D]
hometown.
[A]
Last night in K, we laid in bed, [D] talking about [A] getting
[E] out.
Packing up our bags, [A] maybe heading [D]
south.
[A] Thirty-five, she got up for [D] a vow.
[A]
[E] Last night I sat her up, behind the wheel, [A] said son take a good look [D]
around.
[A] This is your hometown.
