My Little Town

[Verse 1] In 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 [Verse 2] Coming home after school Flying my bike past the gates Of the factories My mom doing the laundry Hanging our shirts In the dirty breeze [Verse 3] And after it rains There's a rainbow And all of the colors are black It's not that the colors aren't there It's just imagination they lack Everything's the same [Chorus] Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town [Verse 4] I never meant nothing I was Just my father's son Saving my money Dreaming of glory Twitching like a finger On the trigger of a gun Leaving nothing but the dead and dying [Chorus]
