My Town

There's a for sale sign on a big old rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see
Just up the road, a pale blue water tower
With "I love Jennie" painted in bright green
Hey, that's my uncle Bill there by the courthouse
He'll be lowerin' the flag when the sun goes down
And this is my town

(Nana, na, na, na) yeah, this is my town
(Nana, na, na, na) hey! where I was born
Where I was raised, where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off, 'cause I got mad
And it came to blows with my old man
Well, I came back and settled down
This is where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town (nana, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town (nana, na, na, na)
My town

There ain't much goin' on here since they closed the mill
But that whistle still blows every day at noon
A bunch of us still go down to the diner
I wonder if that Interstates still comin' through
But come Sunday mornin' service at the church of Christ
Well, there ain't an empty seat to be found
And this is my town

(Nana, na, na, na) yeah, this is my town
(Nana, na, na, na) where I was born
Where I was raised, where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cause I got mad
And it came to blows with my old man
Well, I came back and settled down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town (nana, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town (nana, na, na, na)
My town

Well, I bought and painted up that rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's sittin' right there in our yard
The county came and took that water tower
And that's Jennie with a baby in the car
Well, we're off to Sunday service at the church of Christ
And if we want a seat we better leave right now
And maybe later me and T-Roy will show you around, our town

(Nana, na, na, na) yeah, this is my town
(Nana, na, na, na) yeah, where I was born
Where I was raised, where I keep all my yesterdays
Where I ran off 'cause I got mad
And it came to blows with my old man
I came back and settled down
This is where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town (nana, na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town (nana, na, na, na)

Yeah, this is my town (nana, na, na, na)
My town (my town) (nana, na, na, na)
This is my town (nana, na, na, na)
My town (nana, na, na, na)
This is my town (nana, na, na, na)
