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. > > Thomas Swist, Jr,
