My Hometown

[Verse 1]

On back down in my hometown

Everybody's feeling it bad

No new breaks, whatever it takes

Not to have to sway it on a classified ad

[Chorus]

Hey there Ma and Pa here I am

Money's running out all the same

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again

[Verse 2]

Up real late in New York state

Talking to my baby at night

She keeps me warm and protects me from harm

Love just keeps on rolling when the money gets tight

[Chorus]

Hey there Ma and Pa where I am

Money's running out all the same

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again

[Bridge]

Oh Mrs. Memory just take me on down

Back to the shanties and the cars by the lake

Oh Mrs. Memory just take me on back

Back to my baby and make it okay

Yeah just make it okay

[Verse 3]

On back down in my hometown

Everybody's feeling the same

Good money spent on keeping the rent

Sent in to the man under a week late

[Chorus]

Hey there Ma and Pa were I am

Money's running out all the same

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again
