My Town - The Mick Lloyd Connection

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 Jenny painted in bright green

Hey that's my Uncle Bill

There by the courthouse

He'll be lowering the flag

When the sun goes down

And this is my town

Na na na na na

Yeah this is my town

Na na na na na

Hey

Where I was born where I was raised

Where I keep all my yesterdays

Where I ran off cos I got mad

And it came to blows with my old man

Where I came back to settle down

It's where they'll put me in the ground

This is my town

Na na na na na

Yeah this is my town

Na na na na na

There ain't much going 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 interstate's

Still coming through

Come Sunday morning service

At the Church of Christ

Well there ain't an empty seat to be found

And this is my town

Na na na na na

Yeah this is my town

Na na na na na

Where I was born where I was raised

Where I keep all my yesterdays

Where I ran off cos I got mad

When it came to blows with my old man

Where I came back to settle down

It's where they'll put me in the ground

This is my town

Na na na na na

Yeah this is my town

Na na na na na

Well I bought and painted up

That rusty tractor

You can't miss it

It's sitting 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 an old T-roy will show you around

Our town

Na na na na na

Yeah this is my town

Na na na na na

Yeah where I was born where I was raised

Where I keep all my yesterdays

Where I ran off cos I got mad

When it came to blows with my old man

Where I came back to settle down

It's where they'll put me in the ground

This is my town

Na na na na na

Yeah this is my town

Na na na na na

This is my town

Na na na na na

My town

Na na na na na
