We played cops and robbers in the streets around our house
It was fun and games back then but it ain't funny now
Here in our town

Just a bunch of kids skipping church and acting so cool
But now we're lighting candles on a Friday afternoon
Here in our town

We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats
Here in our town

We say yes ma'am and no ma'am
We love we don't hate
That world that's gone crazy it don't have a place
Here in our town
Here in our town

The only color we care about is that football jersey blue
So I don't know who the hell that is up there on the news
That ain't our town

We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats
Here in our town

We say yes ma'am and no ma'am
We love we don't hate
That world that's gone crazy it don't have a place
Here in our town
Here in our town

We're better than this
Tougher than tough
We might get knocked down
But we get back up
Yeah

We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats
Here in our town

We say yes ma'am and no ma'am
We love we don't hate
That world that's gone crazy it don't have a place
Here in our town
Here in our town
Yeah
