My Hometown

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 cla*sified 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
