There's a for-sale sign on a big ol 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 ginny 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 Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah Hey where I was born Where I was raised Where I keep all my yesterdays Where I ran off cause I got mad And I came to blows with my old man Where I came back to settle down This is where they'll put me in the ground This is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah This is my town There ain't much going on here since they closed the mill The whistle still blows everyday at noon A bunch of us still go down to the diner Wonder if that interstates still comin' through Come the Sunday morning service at the church of christ There ain't an empty seat to be found And this is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah Hey where I was born Where I was raised Where I keep all my yesterdays Where I ran off cause I got mad And I came to blows with my old man Where I came back to settle down This is where they'll put me in the ground This is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah This is my town Well I bought and painted up that rusty tractor You can't miss it its sitting right there in our yard The county came and took that water tower And that's Ginny with a baby in the car 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 Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah Hey where I was born Where I was raised Where I keep all my yesterdays Where I ran off cause I got mad And I came to blows with my old man Where I came back to settle down This is where they'll put me in the ground This is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah This is my town
