My Town Lyrics

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,
butI still rock on...

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

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

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

Poor Side of Town

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,
butI still rock on...

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

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

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
