Allentown

By: Billy Joel

Album: The Nylon Curtain

This song is about growing up in a working class environment and the troubles that came along with being in a steel working town.

Selected Lyrics:

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

Key Words: Billy Joel, Allentown, Classism
