merle haggard - they're tearin' the labor camps down lyrics

[verse 1]
i came back to this ole town because my home was here
and to try to find some things i’d left behind
although i’ve only been away for just a few short years
but i’d forgot about the pace of modern times
i saw changes all around me and some were good
but i hardly recognized my side of town
they tore down the swinging casing from the cottonwood
and that tree was all that marked familiar ground

[chorus]
oh, they’re tearing the labor camps down
and i feel a little sentimental shame
where’s a hungry man going to live at in this town
oh, they’re tearing the labor camps down

[verse 2]
the hilltop family market had been moved somewhere
and the name was changed to fit the newer homes
the folks that i remember were no longer there
and the cabin that my daddy built was gone

[chorus x2]
