This is My Hometown

about

Tommy Drive, Pleasantville, a real place in a fictional town, the best time of our lives.

lyrics

I've been reading it in the paper
And on my RCA television screen
Politically incorrect whatever that means
Just like things the way they used to be


The corner store used to sit right here
Now five dollar coffee is peddled there
And old man Joe
Used to be the Mayor
Now he hardly has time to say see you later


Whoa still I'm in good company
Surrounded by friends and family
Whoa look what that does to me
It keeps me sane well practically


This is my hometown
This is where I'll make my stand
I may be an old man
Still young enough to remember it


Milk on the porch
Never locked the door
Nobody ever says hi anymore
Pleasantville hey I'm back again
Checked in on Roswell
Never saw any aliens


This is my hometown
This is where I'll make my stand
I may be an old man
Still young enough to remember it


Four years old in 1967
Catechism and revelation over by 11
The Christmas tree we planted
Over on Tommy Drive
Isn't there any more
Still feels like Heaven to me


Whoa this is our reality
Peeling paint and faded memories
Whoa look what that does to me
Makes me crazy naturally


This is my hometown
This is where I'll make my stand
I may be an old man
Still young enough to start again
