My Hometown Lyrics - Whiskeytown

On back down in my hometown 

Everybody's feelin' it bad 

No new breaks, whatever it takes 

Not to have to sway it on a classified ad 

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 

Up real late in New York state 

Talkin' to my baby at night 

She keeps me warm and protects me from harm 

Love just keeps on rollin' when the money gets tight 

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 

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 

On back down in my hometown 

Everybody's feelin' the same 

Good money spent, on keepin' the rent 

Sent in to the man under a week late 

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 

I just close my eyes and bring it on home again
