Every child had a pretty good shot to get at least as far as their old man got (one of my favorites too)

In his interview with James Lipton on A&E's Inside the Actors' Studio, Billy said the song was originally to be called Levittown, after the place he grew up. However, there wasn't very much going on there that made a good song, so it sat for years until he read about the problems of the steel towns in the 1980s.

According to Songfacts, Allentown is a town in Northeast Pennsylvania about 45 minutes away from the Pocono mountains. The town was in bad shape as the once-thriving steel factories were closing down. For more on the story behind this song go to http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3161
