This old town's been home long as I remember
this town's gonna be here long after I'm gone
East side, West side--give up, or surrender
--been down,
but  I still rock on...

(CHORUS:)
Oh, and this town
   is my town--alright?
Love or hate it--it don't matter
   'cause I'm gonna stand and fight
This town--is my town
   she's got her ups and downs
but love or hate it--it don't matter
   'cause this is my town

This old town is where I learned about lovin'
this old town is where I learned to hate
This town, buddy, has done its share of shovin'
This town taught me
that it's never too late

(CHORUS TWICE)

This is MY TOWN
This is MY TOWN
This is MY TOWN...
