Born with a stainless steel dream
That one day you'll 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 till 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 till you broke
Another blow was struck
With every word they spoke

No matter how many ways you try
To kiss this place goodbye
It lives in you till the day you die
Say the words with a tear in your eye
Welcome to Janesville

Welcome to Janesville...
Welcome to Janesville...
Welcome to Janesville...
Welcome to Janesville...

Born with a stainless steel dream
That one day you'll be free
Ashamed of your hair and your name
That's something in your way
The place from which you came

No matter how many ways you try
To kiss this place goodbye
It lives in you till the day you die
Say the words with a tear in your eye
Welcome to Janesville
