Young, Neil - My Hometown Lyrics
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the busstop
To pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
In '65 tension was running high, at my high-school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night, in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed, in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come, to my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
Now Main Street's white washed windows
And vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody
Wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm 35, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up, behind the wheel and said son take a good look around, this is your hometown

when you can listen to someone in a booth they must good
A fearless, well-spring artist . . .Thank you for the new frame, and the new perspective, once again.
buenísimo!!!
Having Neil Young covering one of your songs must be one of the coolest things ever.
Sad thing is, it's come to this. I do own this box. Amazing
des racines, un tronc, des branches et de feuilles puis une cime et le ciel
Terrible. I Love Neil Young and this could have been way cooler.
Come back in 20 years and say that. Maybe then you'll realize how great it actually is.
Neil is making tribute to songs he respects!
The Pono player is a separate issue.
amazing cover, great sound and voice.
Your home town I go there often beautiful place. If you could read my mind favorite song from when I was a kid met Gord some outdoor concert. Campfire and friends Neil we grew up on your music And we always had a 12 string going and I have an 11 year old boy he knows your music well He's been saying in Alabama since it was 4. And sad to say I missed you in barrie ont years back hopefully I'll get the chance to take my boy see the great Neil Young
Love everything he does.
I remember seeing something aboutJack White owning this booth NY is singing in. That was JW walking at the beginning of the video.
I wonder if that's the one that American pickers purchased lol ?
This is like a phone booth and they used to have people pay money and cut their own record in it,really cool then the 45 or 78 comes out and people take it home.Really cool saw him make one on Jimmy Fallon
So Neil Young covering Bruce Springsteen produced by Jack White sounds like Daniel Johnston circa 1981? Makes sense.
+JewWario Archives makes perfect sense to me
My sister named me after this guy. Thanks Neil
he switches guitar and the end
That's one of the coolest things I've ever watched.
No puedo explicarlo, es simplemente genial poder escucharlo... Ojala algún día pueda verlo en vivo. Grande Neil Young.
Real. Thanks for sharing. You are the best, Mr Young.
Neil if this is a cover you have to share the adsense budy. LOL :)
What's the guitar?
llmo, Bruce gimmie $, pls. dude.
Chills to the bone
Love ya Neil! :-)
Uncle Neil singing The Boss !
Love love love
