My Hometown (MHT)
Music and Lyrics Jimmy Lehoux and the Jimmy Lehoux Band
Verse 1
35 square miles I call my home
There’s a river running north to south with a thousand years of stones
To the east there’s a dead end road, people walking by
And to the west an old rugged cross greets the morning sky
Chorus
Welcome to my hometown
Where history runs deep but the future is now
She is one proud place to me and in my heart she’ll always be
My home town
Verse 2
It was an old textile mill town built by the falls
Where you can still believe that hard work conquers all
She’s grown with the changes all through the years
And with the pride of her people she forged on without fear
Chorus
Welcome to my hometown
Where history runs deep but the future is now
She is one proud place to me and in my heart she’ll always be
My home town
Bridge
The children will one day lead her on
And the old will tell the queen city stories
Of how she came up from the ashes long ago
By those who could see and those who still believe in her glory
Chorus
Welcome to my hometown
Where history runs deep but the future is now
She is one proud place to me and in my heart she’ll always be
My home town
Welcome to my hometown
