This Town lyrics

This town is a lot like me

Sadder and wiser than it used to be

A little sprawled out, a little rundown

I wonder what’s gonna become of this town

This town has its highs and lows

And a hole in the middle where nobody goes

People come through, but they don’t hang around

Nobody wants to get to the heart of this town

But this town has its own sweet charms

Open your heart and it’ll open its arms

Take you by the hand and show you around

There’s still a lot of life left in this town

All that I can see is lovers kissing in the street

Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio

And all that I can hear is another late night symphony

The sound of traffic moving like an undertow

This town can’t get no rest

Everybody thinks that they know best

They’re either building it up or they’re tearing it down

They can’t seem to love it like it is, this town

All I wanna do tonight is kiss you in the street

Swaying to the beat of a rusty radio

And all I wanna do is feel your arms around me too

Pullin' on my body like an undertow

This town is a lot like me

A little coat of paint and some TLC

And she’ll light right up if you come around

You know that you never wanna leave this town

You know that you never wanna leave this town

This town
