Allentown Lyric Billy Joel GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1 & II

Well we're living here in Allentown
And they're closing all the
factories down
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out
forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the Second World
War

Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the
USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we're living here in
Allentown

But the restlessness was handed down
And it's getting very
hard to stay

Well we're waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania
we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If
we behaved

So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really
helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and
coke
And chromium steel
And we're waiting here in Allentown

But
they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled
away

Every child has a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as
their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They
threw an American flag in our place

Well I'm living here in
Allentown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting
very hard to stay
And we're living here in Allentown
