In my little town I grew up believing God keeps His eye on us all And He used to lean upon me As I pledged allegiance to the wall Lord, I recall my little town Coming home after school Flying my bike past the gates of the factories My mom doin' the laundry Hangin' our shirts in the dirty breeze And after it rains theres a rainbow And all of the colors are black Its not that the colors arent there Its just imagination they lack Everythings the same Back in my little town My little town, my little town Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town In my little town I never meant nothing I was just my father's son Saving my money, dreamin' of glory Twitching like a finger on the trigger of a gun Leaving nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town
