Born with a stainless steel dream That one day you'd be free Bound by the name of your town Wherever you may roam It follows you around No matter how many ways you try To kiss this place goodbye It lives in you til the day you die Say the words with a tear in your eye "Welcome to Janesville" How far away have you run To forget what they've done? They beat you down til you're broke Another blow was struck With ever word they spoke No matter how many ways you try To kiss this place goodbye It lives in you til the day you die Say the words with a tear in your eye "Welcome to Janesville" Welcome to Janesville (repeated) Born with a stainless steel dream That one day you'd be free Change both your hair and your name But something in your way Betrays from whence you came No matter how many ways you try To kiss this place goodbye It lives in you til the day you die Say the words with a tear in your eye "Welcome to Janesville"
