i want to tell you about my hometown
Its a dusty old jewel in the south puget sound
Well the factories churn and the timbers all cut down
And life goes by slow in tacoma
People they laugh when they hear youre from my town
They say its a sour and used up all place
I defended its honor
Shrugged off the put downs
You know that youre poor
from tacoma
Buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost-towns
It gives me a chill to think what was inside
I cant seem to fathom the dark of my history
I invented my own in tacoma
There was nothing to put me in love with the good life
Im in league with the the gangs guns
And the crime
There was no hollow promise that life would reward you
There was nowhere to hide in tacoma
People who built it they loved it like i do
There was hope in the trainyard of something inspired
Once was i on it
But its been painted shut
I found passion for life in tacoma
Well i dont make it home much
I sadly neglect you
But thats how you like it away from the world
God bless california
Make way for the wal-mart
I hope they dont find you tacoma
