[C] [Bb] [F] I was eight years old and running with a dime in my [C] hand
To the bus stop to pick up a paper [F] from my [C] [Bb] old man
He [F] sat on his lap in that big old Buick
[Bb] We'd steer [F] as he drove through [C] town
Tossed my hair, said son take a [F] good [C] look around
[Bb] [F] This is your hometown, your [C] hometown, your hometown
[F]
[C] [Bb] [F] In sixty-five, the tension was running high
At my high [C] school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
[F] There was nothing [C] you could [Bb] do
Do [F] cars have a light on a Saturday night
In the back seat there [C] was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
[F] Trouble [C] times had [Bb] come [F] to my hometown
Here to my [C] hometown, my hometown
[F]
[C] [Bb] [F]
Now [Dm] main streets, whitewashed windows, and [F] vacant stores
Seems [D] like there ain't nobody wants to come [F] down here no more
[Bb] They're closing down the rug mill, [F] crossing railroad tracks
[Bbm] Foreman says these jobs are going [F] boys
And they ain't coming [C] back [F] to your hometown
To [Bb] your [F]
[C] hometown, your hometown
Last [F] [C]
[Bb] [F]
night me and Kate, we laid in bed
[Bb] Talking [F] about getting [C] out, packing up our bags
Maybe [F] heading [C] south
[Bb] I'm [F] thirty-five, we've got a boy [Bb] of our [F] own now
[C] Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
Said [F] son take a [C] good look [Bb] around
This [F] is your hometown,
[Bb] [F] [C]
your hometown,
[F] [C] [Bb]
[F] this is your hometown
