RAILROAD DIKERS - THIS TOWN lyrics

Found a new place they call home

Beneath the old gasoline station

Where the railway starts to flow

Out of this town where

The heroes hide away

Where kids grow up to tell their part

Of the hometown story

Many years they went out to

Where no one else will find

Faith became their castle

Till the ground was set on fire

Summer turned to winter

Friends became enemies

The change of seasons took its stand

In the hometown story

Then came the rain

Then came the night

The street looked like a mirror

Took them to the other side

Promises were holy

Life was all around

I guess there?s nothing left for them

In the backstreets of this town

Who?s the one who clears your eyes

When tears can?t hide the pain?

Who?s the one you run to

When the whole town calls your name?

Who will be your fire

When the mirror starts to freeze?

The truth is hard to find between the lines

In the hometown story

Then came the rain

Then came the night

There ain?t no more fortune left

Beyond the other mirror side

Then on the mainstreet

Snow came falling down

There?s so much left for you and me

In the backstreets of this town

Those last few days, we didn?t take

The time to speak our minds

Some of us they learned to see

While some of us got blind

The salt inside my eyes

Hurts like some memories

The time is right to find yourself

In the hometown story
