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
