Story Behind The Song

Wrote this about going back to my blue collar town and feeling a sense of sameness but spirit still living on.

Song Description

Community, time, change may happen but sometimes a hometown is left behind, and that ain't so bad

Lyrics

Yesterday's Town
by Sean Hogan


I stepped out of blue bird cab, set my suitcase on the ground, of God's green earth.
As I did a voice from my past said, " hey good to see you come around, for what it's worth ya. It had been a while, since the city life called me away, guess I moved my mind and body; but my heart did tend to stay...back

Yesterday's town right where it used to be, I don't mind that's just fine by me. Ain't a model of modern prosperity, Still the sweetest home sweet home I've found I swear that's where I'll settle down, hmm. back in my,my,my, yesterday's town.

"Time was," the old man said,there was no time for work he had to do, to make things. Now he don't know how a man these days makes endsd meet and finds the ways to get through that's the truth, sure things will change, maybe just because you know we can't live in the past on account of how it was,

Yesterday's town right where it used to be, I don't mind that's just fine by me. Ain't a model of modern prosperity, Still the sweetest home sweet home I've found I swear that's where I'll settle down, hmm. back in my,my,my, yesterday's town.

Between the young and the old between the boom and the bust I watched this little town's spirit stand tall on a cornerstone of trust ain't no good reason to forever say goodbye... but I do get lonely if only for the sound

Yesterday's town right where it used to be, I don't mind that's just fine by me. Ain't a model of modern prosperity, Still the sweetest home sweet home I've found, I swear that's where I'll settle down, hmm. back in my,my,my, yesterday's town.
