My papa grew onions in the black dirt [Bm] loam On three acres his papa gave him on loan
Seemed a [A] good enough future, plant seeds and watch things grow
Then he married a girl from a rust belt town An industrial job and settled on down
Sent [A] the kids off to college, bought a house where they're all [Bm] in rows
And then [D] came the war and one didn't come back [G] Didn't have time to think about that
One turned to [D] drugs and one dropped [F#m] out And one came back home to this [Bm] rust belt town
When [D] I was born in that rust belt town Nobody saw it coming down
Till [A] the factories closed and the rich folks moved [Bm] away
Played with matchbox cars in the big backyard Soapbox Derby on the NASCAR
[A] And we all took it kinda [A] hard when our [Bm] dreams faded
[G] You spend your life [D] on assembly [G] lines Or in the state pen doing time
[G] Or sitting on the front [D] porch trying to [A] find love
[F#m] In [Bm] this rust belt [Bm] town You only get so far on unemployment
Clipping coupons, sheer enjoyment [A] Or you take a job greeting customers [Bm] at Walmart
Sooner or later the rage wells up Till it reaches the surface
And blows on [A] up when the coupons don't begin To [Bm] fill your shopping cart
[G] And there's no use oiling that front gate latch You can come and go, but there's a catch
The bank owns all but the beer and the [A] match That lights the [F#m] fuse [B] to this [Bm] rust belt town
[B] [Bm] Sitting on the front porch killing time Throwing pebbles at the stop [D] sign
[A] Every one that hits rings a bell Screw [Bm] coming loose on the old porch swing
No more spooning or songs to [A] sing But I keep on rocking till it drops me [Bm] off in hell
[G] I found an old toy buried in the backyard Looks like it once might have been a race car
Wheels are [D] rotten and the steel turned [A] brown Another [F#m] holy relic [Bm] from this rust belt town
[F#m]
[B] [A]
[Bm] Going to head on down to the hardware store Going to buy me a hammerhead outdoor
[A] The man says you forgot to [Bm] buy the nails
Going to take that hammer, going to bang some steel Going to bang some more till it knows how I [A] feel
Till the rust comes off, don't need no [Bm] goddamn nails
[G] And you throw a stone [D] at the sons of bitches [G] One hit and the [D] elfs is the one you hit
[G] This all works fine [D] till someone gets bit [F#m] And the shit comes down on [Bm] that rust belt town
[F#m] Till the hammer comes down on [Bm] this rust belt town
[D] The hammer comes [F#m] down [D] on this rust belt town
