lyrics

The town where I was born

With a match I light a fire
to the town where I was born
mom said there's only one way out
and the train leaves in the morn
dad got laid off at the factory
they sent their apologies
he read the letter at the table
from it his eyes rose to me
he said son we don't live by bread alone
lord knows this world ain't our home
this is the town where I was born
foxes got holes and birds got their nests
son of man he's got no place to rest
wind blows me down like a tumble weed
pushing me down the alleyway
like a leaf departs from its old tree
pack my bags for ramblin
and I hear son we don't live by bread alone
lord knows this ain't our home
this is the town where I was born
warmed my fingers on the flame
rises high off my birth place
shake the dust from our feet
pray to God things are going to change
and I say son we don't live by bread alone
lord knows this world ain't our home
this is the town where I was born
