My Little Town (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - December 2003) - 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

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
