Karaoke Track: My Hometown by Bruce Springsteen (UK Karaoke)

l was eight years old

And running with

A dime in my hand

Into the bustop to pick

up a paper

for my old man

I&#39;d sit on his lap
In that big old Buick

And steer as we drove

through town

Tousle my hair

and say son take

a good look around

This is your hometown

This is your hometown

This is your hometown

This is your hometown

In &#39;65 tension was

running high

At my high school

Two cars at a light
On 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 Main Street&#39;s

whitewashed windows

And vacant stores

Seems like there

ain&#39;t nobody

wants to come

down here no more

They&#39;re closing down

The textile mill
Across

the railroad tracks

Foreman says these jobs

are going boys

And they ain&#39;t coming

back to your hometown

To your hometown

To your hometown

To your hometown

Last night me and Kate

We laid in bed

Talking about

getting out

Packing up

our bags, maybe

heading south

Last night I sat him up

Behind the wheel
And said son take a

good look around

This is your hometown
