In my little town

I grew up believing

God keeps his eye on the sun

He used to lean upon me

As I pledged allegience to the wall



Lord I recall

My little town



Coming home after school

Flying my bag 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 lack

Everything's the same back

In my little town



Nothing but the day and night back in my little town

Nothing but the day and night back in my little town



In my little town

I never meant nothin'

I was just my father's son

Savin' my money

Dreamin' of glory

Twitching like a finger on the trigger of a gun



Nothing but the day and night back in my little town

Nothing but the day and night back in my little town

Nothing but the day and night back in my little town

Nothing but the day and night back in my little town

Nothing but the day and night back in my little town

Nothing but the day and night back in my little town
