[Verse 1]
D G D I came back to this old town because my home was here D A D And to try to find some things I'd left behind D G D We'd only been away for just a few short years D A D But I forgot about the pace of modern times.
[Verse 2]
D G D I saw changes all around me and some were good D A D But I hardly recognized my side of town D G D They tore down the swingin' casing from the cottonwood D A D And that tree was all that marked familar ground.
[Chorus]
D G D Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down F#7 Bm And I feel a little sentimental shame G D Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town D A (D) Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down.

[Verse 3]
D G D The Hilltop family market had been moved somewhere D A D And the name was changed to fit the newer homes D G D Folks that I remember were no longer there D A D And the cabin that my daddy built was gone.
[Chorus]
D G D Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down F#7 Bm And I feel a little sentimental shame G D Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town D A D Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down.
[Chorus]
D G D You're tearin' the labor camps down F#7 Bm And I feel a little sentimental shame G D Where's a hungry man gonna live at in this town D A (D) Oh, they're tearin' the labor camps down.
