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
in my little town
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
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 back
In my little town
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 mmm
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 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
Nothing but the dead
and dying back
in my little town
