| | My Little Town Lyrics Artist(Band):Paul Simon
In my little town I grew up believ--ing God keeps His eye on us all And He used to lean upon me As I pledged allegiance to the wall Lord I recall My little town Coming home after school Flying my bike past the gates Of the factories My mom doing the laundry Hanging our shirts In the dirty breeze And after it rains There's a rainbow And all of the colors are black It's not that the colors aren't there It's just imagin-ation they lack Everything's the same Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town In my little town I never meant nothin' I was just my fathers son Saving my money Dreaming of glory Twitching like a finger On the trigger of a gun Leaving nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Repeat and fade: Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town If you find some error in My Little Town Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about My Little Town My Life | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/7/09 This song does not completely parallel my personal life, but it is my era and what doesn't parallel my life, does parallel events around me. I grew up believing and fearing God. Believing that he watched me and knew when I made mistakes or acted inappropriately. I remember in elementary school I said the pledge of allegiance and often stared at the wall instead of the flag. I didn't understand patriotism. After school I would ride my bicycle places where my mother prohibited me from riding. I remember my mother hanging out clothes to dry and the talk of increased pollution on the news all the time. There have been many days when rain has come and then the sun, but too much smog to see a rainbow. As I arrived in my teens, I was determined to leave and go somewhere exciting to live out my life. Nothing ever happened here. I did save my money and dream of glory. The gun is an ominous part however. Friends of mine committed suicide in high school. It was as if you had to have a dream and momentum or you might as well die. The song takes me back mentally to a darker time in my life where it could have gone either way. Fortunately I still believe in God, I serve him every way I can by serving others. As I have gotten older I realize more and more that I might be the one who keeps that trigger from being pulled. We are all scared and alone without each other. Humanity, charity and kindness are the only things that will pull some through the hard times. We are our brother's keepers, we are watched, and one day we will be held accountable for our stewardship here.
