My Little Town Songtext / Lyric

I 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,
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,
Ev'rything'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 nothing,
I was just my father's son, mm.
Saving my money,
Dreaming 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 ym little town.
