In my little town I
grew up believing
God keeps
His eye on us all
He used to lean upon me,
as I pledged allegiance to all the world
Lord, I recall one little town,
coming home after school
Why have I passed the
gates of the factory
Upon the laundry,
hangin' my shirt in the dirty creek
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
Violet
Town
Nothing but the dead and dying
back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dy
ing back in my little town
In my little town
I never meant nothing,
I was just my father's son
Saving the money,
dreaming of glory
Twitching like a finger on the
trigger of a gun
We were nothing but the dead and dy
ing back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dy
ing back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying
back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dy
ing 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 dy
ing back in my little town.
