My Hometown (lyrics)
Songwriters: Bruce Springsteen

I was eight years old
And running with a dime in my hand

To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for my old man

I’d sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And steer as we drove through town

He’d tousle my hair
And say, “Son, take a good look around”

This is your hometown
This is your hometown

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
To my hometown

Now Main Street’s whitewashed windows
And vacant stores

Seems like there ain’t nobody
Wants to come down here no more

They’re closing down the textile mill
Across the railroad tracks

Foreman says, “These jobs are going, boys
And they ain’t coming back

To your hometown
To your hometown

To your hometown
To 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”
