My Hometown
>What has happened to my hometown
>Satan has come along and turned it around
>Changed the outlook from the way it use to be
>Putting those in bondage that use to run free
>
>Causing a lot of problems for the young and the old
>Stealing their joy trying to steal their soul
>It makes me very sad how things turned out to be
>What happened to my hometown really affected me
>
>Seams like yesterday we were all together
>Family and friends trying to live better
>Like a thief in the night satan came on the scene
>Breaking up famlies acting real mean
>
>Remind me of a traveling salesman going door to door
>Preying on the rich as well as the poor
>Somebody told me old satan is still around
>Waiting to destroy more lives in my hometown.
