My Town
Written by - Jeffrey Steele & Reed Nielsen
From - My Town
There's a 'For Sale' sign on a big ol' rusty tractor
Can't miss it...It's the first thing that you see
Just up the road, a pale blue water tower
With 'I Love Jenny' painted in bright green
Hey, that's my Uncle Bill there by the courthouse
He'll be lowerin' the flag as the sun goes down
And this is my town

(Na na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na 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
But I came back to settle down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na na, na, na)
My town

There ain't much going on there since they closed the mill
That whistle still blows every day at noon
A bunch of us still go down to the diner
I wonder if that interstate's still comin' through
Come Sunday mornin', service at the Church of Christ
There ain't an empty seat to be found
And this is my town

(Na na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na 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
But I came back to settle down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na 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 Jenny with a baby in the car
Ah...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 ol' T-Roy will show you around...
Our town

(Na na, na, na)
Yeah, this is my town
(Na 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 to settle down
It's where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town
(Na na, na, na)
Hey...this is my town
(Na na, na, na)
This is my town
(Na na, na, na)
This is my town
