My Little Town -simon & Garfunkel Lyrics - Art Garfunkel

Released on Still Crazy After All These Years (Paul Simon) and Breakaway (Art Garfunkel) 

In my little town, I grew up believing 

God keeps His eye on us all 

And He used to lean upon me 

As I pledged allegiance to the wall 

Lord I recall 

My little town 

Coming home after school 

Flying my bike 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 they lack 

Everything's the same back 

In my little town 

Nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town 

Nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town 

In my little town, I never meant nothin' 

I was just my father's son 

Saving my money, dreaming of glory 

Twitching like a finger on the trigger of a gun 

Leaving nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town 

Nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town 

Nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town 

Nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town 

Nothing but the dead and dying 

Back in my little town
