My Home Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down on the corner of the street
Where I was born we used to meet
And sing the old songs
We called them dole songs
And we'd harmonize so clear
Even though it was the beer
That made the tears run

About the years gone by
And we'd go home and kiss the wife
Hoping a kiss could change your life

That's how romance is
No second chances
Back in my home town

[Verse 2]
Things aren't so very different now
Poor folk must get along somehow
You live forever
On the never never
Back in my home town

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
