Down In My Hometown

Down in my hometown
There is a fortune
They used call it gold
But now it’s love I’m told
With a worried mind
I put my time in
But hunger comes and goes
Even while the wild wind blows
Now I could sing you a song of inspiration
Or of new world where everyone is free
But know you there ain’t no new way to salvation
The time is gettin' short, my friends, for you and me
Down in my hometown
There is a fortune
They used call it gold
But now it’s love I’m told
(Instrumental)
Now when I left there, my eyes cast down in sorrow
So very soon I found the darkness on the ground
And now I see the clouds a' gatherin' for tomorrow
But I must journey on the one road I have found
Down in my hometown
There is a fortune
They used call it gold
But now it’s love I’m told
With a worried mind
I put my time in
But hunger comes and goes
Even while the wild wind blows
