Lyrics

I was 10 years old, learning the game, a Baltimore football fan
At age 13, said goodbye to my team, in the back of a Mayflower van
Some time before I saw 44 running while his fans all screamed
Thrilled me so, El Riggo, I found a brand new team
They were my home team
They were my home team
My Home team
I called them My Home Team
Now I'm 45 and it has been some time
since days of the glories past
we've had many coaches, a couple GM's
and a whole lotta quarterbacks
but I saw a light, last Sunday Night
we beat the Saints by thirty three
Now I might be a dope, but we've got playoff hopes
Yes I still believe in my hometeam
They're my home team
My hometeam
The 'Skins are my home team.....


My true football fandom story.
By Joe Aro
Parody of "MY HOMETOWN" by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

    anita, I'd say you are currently only dying with yours. sorry. every time I hear a Steelers fan around town complain about the team I try to explain the absurd amount of success they are too spoiled to even deserve. but back to this song. this is a moving jingle, which you seem to specialize in, Joe. in this sea of sarcasm we all propagate I always find it refreshing to hear something like this. plus, great execution.

    Agreed. This is very lovely, Joe. It almost makes me not want to post my new Redskins jingle after their game against the Panthers. Sorry.

    This is more than a jingle... it's a personal rework of a great song that's just as cool in this version.

    This is so pretty Joe. Speaks to all of us who live and die by our Home Teams. Good or bad.
