[00:10.50]There's a 'For Sale' sign on a big old rusty tractor.
[00:15.51]You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see.
[00:20.64]Just up the road, a pale-blue water tower,
[00:26.40]With 'I Love Jenny' painted in bright green.
[00:30.96]Hey, that's my Uncle Bill, there by the courthouse.
[00:36.03]He'll be lowerin' the flag when the sun goes down.
[00:40.47]And this is my town.
[00:42.45](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[00:45.60]Yeah, this is my town.
[00:48.42](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[00:50.79]Hey!
[00:51.57]Where I was born, where I was raised.
[00:54.15]Where I keep all my yesterdays.
[00:56.70]Where I ran off 'cos I got mad,
[00:59.16]An' it came to blows with my old man.
[01:01.86]Where I came back to settle down,
[01:04.41]It's where they'll put me in the ground:
[01:06.78]This is my town.
[01:07.80](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[01:11.16]Yeah, this is my town.
[01:13.44](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[01:16.89]My town.
[01:27.24]There ain't much goin' on here since they closed the mill.
[01:32.19]But that whistle still blows ev'ry day at noon.
[01:37.65]A bunch of us still go down to the diner.
[01:42.48]I wonder if that interstate's still comin' through.
[01:47.70]Come Sunday morning service, at the Church of Christ,
[01:52.74]Well there ain't an empty seat to be found.
[01:57.18]And this is my town.
[01:59.43](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[02:02.40]Yeah, this is my town.
[02:04.17](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[02:08.37]Where I was born, where I was raised.
[02:10.80]Where I keep all my yesterdays.
[02:13.44]Where I ran off 'cos I got mad,
[02:15.90]An' it came to blows with my old man.
[02:18.60]Where I came back to settle down,
[02:21.15]It's where they'll put me in the ground:
[02:23.46]This is my town.
[02:25.62](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[02:27.84]Yeah, this is my town.
[02:33.33](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[02:33.78]My town.
[02:44.49]Well, I bought and painted up that rusty tractor.
[02:48.99]You can't miss it, it's sittin' right there in our yard.
[02:54.39]The County came and took that water tower,
[02:59.22]And that's Jenny, with a baby, in the car.
[03:02.19]Ah, we're off to Sunday service at the Church of Christ,
[03:09.48]And if we want a seat, we better leave right now.
[03:14.49]And maybe later, me an old T-roy will show you around,
[03:18.51]Our town.
[03:19.92](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[03:24.15]Yeah, this is my town.
[03:26.01](Na, na, na, na, na.)
[03:29.16]Yeah, where I was born, where I was raised.
[03:32.49]Where I keep all my yesterdays.
[03:35.07]Where I ran off 'cos I got mad,
[03:37.50]An' it came to blows with my old man.
[03:40.23]Where I came back to settle down,
