Raised in a Place

I was raised in a place

That has become a disgrace

Everything that I once knew

Now there is no trace

The pumpkin patch, the fall harvest

Has been paved with a new Target

They called it progress

But for who?

They told us all, but it's only a few

Oooh, Oooooh

They tore the old buildings down

Replaced them all with beige and brown

What do I see when I drive around?

It's all the same

From town to town

From town to town

Where'd it go, Where've we been?

Now I can't stand this place

After so many years away

It's all just been erased

I was raised in a place

So far away from here

I was raised in a place

So far away from here

I was raised in a place

So far away from here

I was raised in a place

So far away from here

Hmmm, yeah

I was raised in a place

So far away from here

I was raised in a place

So far away from here

I was raised in a place
