Lyrics
1. When you were young,
You went to school there.
You met your friends;
You met your pals there too.
You had a favorite teach.
You have your favorite playground.
Remembering your life,
It's your home town.
2. You were the jock,
She was a gymnast.
You went to prom;
You were the king.
She was your date,
She was the prom queen.
Remembering your life,
It's your home town.
Chorus:
My home, my street, my church, the shops.
My friends, my folks, my family, my job,
I walk the streets remembering my life,
In this my home - it's my home town.
3. Then you got married,
You got a job.
You had your kids
And they grew up.
And now their kids
Live out their lives,
Remembering your life,
In their home town.
Bridge:
You lived and you loved there.
You set your life goals.
And you now grow old.
Your life is whole.
Repeat Chorus 1X
Repeat Chorus Lines 1 & 2
Finish with:
I walk these streets, remembering my life.
In this my home - it's my home town.
Remembering my life, in my home town.
