lyrics

Intro:
They say you can never go back to your hometown
No don't you ever go back it'll only bring you down

Intro-Chorus:
My hometown, my hometown

Verse:
Empty storefronts lining empty streets
Calling out for the old days, crying out to me
They boarded up my old school, They cut down all the trees
They tore down the corner store, where we used to meet
South Market, Orange Crush
Just a silly little memory
But it means so much … To me....

My hometown, my hometown
Faded dreams and memories, beckoning me,
My hometown, my hometown

Hanging out at the Top Hat, And Mary's Lunch
Talking to the hard cases and the all day drunks
Pumping quarters, into the pinball machines
You'll never amount to nothing, My teacher said to me
I just smile, shrug it off
Hear my old man's laughter
Turn into smokers cough

My hometown, my hometown
Thinking about the days gone by, don’t it make you cry?
My hometown, my hometown

Solo: (play chorus)

Bridge:
The say you can never go back to the way that you used to be
That's a truth that's hard to swallow, for a guy like me … (I’m going)

My hometown , my hometown
Take me home, take me home
My hometown , my hometown

Marie, his follow-up "Modern Dystopia" sees him looking more outwards and forwards, at society as a whole and at our future on this beautiful planet we call Earth.
Is there still hope for our beautiful world? ... more
