Street In My Hometown

Walking through this downtown street
It’s raining in December and over the years
Some of my favorite places have gone away
In my hometown
They’re building condominiums by the railroad tracks
New developments are taking over
From city contracts I want to paint black
In my hometown
In my hometown-I'm talking about
My hometown I let it out
In my hometown
They’re tearing up the streets
And with it comes a piece of me
What happened to the place I used to know?
Memories keep tugging at my heart and won’t let go
In my hometown
In my hometown-I'm talking about
My hometown-I let it out
In my hometown-a street in
My hometown
A street in my hometown-that I once knew
