My Little Town Songtext
von Simon & 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

Comin′ home after school
Flyin' my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doin′ the laundry
Hangin' 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 (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
Savin' my money
Dreamin′ of glory
Twitchin' 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
