I want to tell you about my hometown
It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound
Well, the factories churn and the timber's all cut down
And life goes by slow in Tacoma

People, they laugh when they hear you're from my town
They say it's a sour and used-up ol' place
I've defended its honor, and shrugged off the put downs
You know that you're poor, from Tacoma

The buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost towns
It gives me a chill to think what was inside
I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history
I invented my own in Tacoma

There was nothin' to put me in love with the good life
I'm in league with the the gangs, and the 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 trainyards and somethin' inspired
Once was I on it, but it's been painted shut
I found passion for life in Tacoma

Well I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you
But that's how you like it, away from the world
God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart
I hope they don't find you, Tacoma


Mirror lyrics:

I hope they don't find you, Tacoma
God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart
But that's how you like it, away from the world
Well I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you

I found passion for life in Tacoma
Once was I on it, but it's been painted shut
There was hope in the trainyards and somethin' inspired
People who built it, they loved it like I do

There was nowhere to hide in Tacoma
There was no hollow promise that life would reward you
I'm in league with the the gangs, and the guns, and the crime
There was nothin' to put me in love with the good life

I invented my own in Tacoma
I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history
It gives me a chill to think what was inside
The buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost towns

You know that you're poor, from Tacoma
I've defended its honor, and shrugged off the put downs
They say it's a sour and used-up ol' place
People, they laugh when they hear you're from my town

And life goes by slow in Tacoma
Well, the factories churn and the timber's all cut down
It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound
I want to tell you about my hometown
