Art Garfunkel - My Little Town -Simon & Garfunkel lyrics

rate me

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
