Lyrics

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Falling down the streets of merry gold
Following my feet where they go
Thinking 'bout a home I used to know
It's like the door being slammed closed
I never fixed my life 'til now
Colored sign says you're moving out
Money might get you a seat in the front row
But it won't buy you what I know
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I hear the music coming through the floorboards
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The same music don't live here anymore
Whatever happened to my hometown?
Part of growing up was falling down
We used to dance it to the morning light
We used to live
We used to love life
Whatever happened to my hometown?
Got knocked out
But we ain't coming around
We used to burn it 'til the morning light
Now we're just working for the shirt and tie
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Now we're just working for the shirt and tie
Oh-oh-oh-oh
But it's not right
Holding up your life in a sleeping bag
Setting up your tent on the main drag
There was a day I thought I understood
Now I see my own face
Underneath the same hood
Did we lose where we were coming from?
We used to sing until our voices were gone
Drinking our fill from a half-filled cup
Turning it up 'cause it's not enough
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I hear the music coming through the floorboards
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The same music don't live here anymore
Whatever happened to my hometown?
Part of growing up was falling down
We used to dance it to the morning light
We used to live
We used to love life
Whatever happened to my hometown?
Got knocked out
But we ain't coming around
We used to burn it 'til the morning light
Now we're just working for the shirt and tie
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Now we're just working for the shirt and tie
Oh-oh-oh-oh
But it's not right
Whatever happened to my hometown?
Got knocked out
But we ain't coming around
We used to burn it 'til the morning light
Now we're just working for the shirt and tie
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Now we're just working for the shirt and tie
Oh-oh-oh-oh
But it's not right
