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
 
 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
 all that i can hear 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
 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 & some TLC
 and she’ll light right up if you come around
 you know that you never wanna leave this town
