Jason Ringenburg - My Hometown


G                                         C    G    D
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
D                                        G  G/F C
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
G                                              C         G              D
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
D                                      G    G/F C     
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around 
G                               C    G   D
This is your hometown This is your hometown
D                             G   G/F C
This is your hometown This is your hometown

In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun 
Words were passed in a shotgun blast Troubled times had come
To my hometown My hometown
My hometown My hometown

    Em                                    G
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Em                                                G
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
        C                                            G
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
         C                                  G                 C 
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back 
G                C     G   D
To your hometown Your hometown
D               G  G/F C   
Your hometown Your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
This is your hometown Your hometown
Your hometown Your hometown
Your hometown Your hometown
Your hometown Your hometown
