In my little town, I grew up believing

God keeps his eye on us all

He used to lean upon me

As I pledged allegience to the wall



Lord I recall - My little town. my little town,



Coming home after school

Riding my bike past the gates of the factories

My mom doing the laundry

Hanging our shirts in the dirty breeze



And after it rains there's a rainbow

And all of the colours are black

It's not that the colours aren't there

It's just imagination they lack

Everything's the same 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 nothin' I was just my father's son

Savin' my money, dreamin' of glory

Twitching like a finger on the trigger of a gun



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

Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
