My Hometown Songtext / Lyric

On back down in my hometown

Everybody's feelin' it bad

No new breaks, whatever it takes

Not to have to sway it on a classified ad



Hey there Ma and Pa, here I am

Money's running out, all the same

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again



Up real late in New York state

Talkin' to my baby at night

She keeps me warm and protects me from harm

Love just keeps on rollin' when the money gets tight






Hey there Ma and Pa, where I am

Money's running out, all the same

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again



Oh, Mrs. Memory just take me on down

Back to the shanties and the cars by the lake

Oh, Mrs. Memory just take me on back

Back to my baby and make it okay

Yeah, just make it okay



On back down in my hometown

Everybody's feelin' the same

Good money spent, on keepin' the rent

Sent in to the man under a week late



Hey there Ma and Pa, where I am

Money's running out, all the same

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again
