[A] [D]
[A] Isaiah's old, they're running with time in [E] my hand
To bust out the pick, up off paper, [A] for my [G] [D] old man
[A] I sit on the flap, and that big old Buick
Steers the drug [E] through town
He taps on my [Am] hair, and says son take a [E] good look [D] around
[A] This is your hometown, this is your [E] hometown
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
[A] [D]
[A] In six step five pinching wood, running high [Bm] in [A] my high [E] school
There's lots of fights between the black and [A] white, there's nothing you [D] could do
[A] Two cars in a lane, on a Saturday night, in the backseat there [E] was a gun
It went up fast, it's shotgun blast, [A] troubled times had [D] come
[A] To my hometown, [D] to my [A] [E] hometown, to my hometown, to [A] [E] my [D] hometown
[A]
[F#] The man's feet [F#m] whitewash windows, [A] in vacant stores
Seems [F#m] like there ain't [F#] nobody, who wants to [A] come down in the mall
They
[D] close them down, the textile mills [A] cross a rail of tracks
The [D] farmer says these jobs are going boys, [A] and they ain't coming [E] back
[A] To your hometown, to your [E] hometown, to your hometown, to [A] your [D] hometown

Last night me and Kate, we're laying in bed, [F#m] talking [A] about getting [E] out
Packing up, out back baby, [A] heading [D] south
[A] I'm 35, we got a boy [D] at [A] the bar, [E] oh no
Last night I sat him up, behind the wheel set, [A] son take a good [D] look around
[A] This is your hometown, [D] this is [A] your [E] hometown, this is your hometown, this
[A] is your [D] hometown
