  I was [E/A]eight [A]years [E/A]old [A]and [D]runni[A]ng wit[E]h a dime in my hand

  Into the [Esus]bus s[E]top to pick[Esus] up a[E] paper [A]fo[D]r my old man

  I'd [E/A]sit on[A] his la[E/A]p in[A] that bi[D]g old Buick [A]and steer as w[E]e drove through town

  He'd [Esus]tousl[E]e my hair and [Esus]say s[E]on take a[A] goo[D]d look around

  This is [A]you[E/A]r ho[A]metown, 		th[D]is is[A] you[E]r hometown

  This is [Esus]your [E]hometown, 	[Esus]	this[E] is your ho[A]metown[D]  [E/A]  [A]

  

  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

  

  Now [F#m]Main Stree[E/A]t's [A]whitewashed [E/A]windo[A]ws and vacant stores

  Seems [F#m]like there [E/A]ain't[A] nob[E/A]ody w[A]ants to come down here no more

  They're [D]closing dow[E/A]n the text[A]ile mill ac[E/A]ross [A]the railroad tracks

  Foreman [D]says the[A]se jobs [E]are going boys and they ain't coming back to

  

  Your hometown, your hometown, 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
