Lyrics This Town - The Swon Brothers

This Town

Was gonna write you a letter
With so much on my mind
A call woulda been better
But you never really had the time
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face
Your last name and your number changed
You found someone, you had a baby
I guess nothing ever stays the same
This town ain’t like I remember
You love going back
But you hate going back
This place ain’t the way I left it
Everything we had
Has gone so fast
Your daddy used to preach in Jesus' name
But now he just smokes and drinks all day
Since your momma died, she was his whole life
Well, God, I hope it gets better
He always loved the thought of you and me
He said, «Go ahead son she’s gonna love that ring»
Looking back now probably should’ve stayed
I made a promise, I should’ve kept it
This town ain’t like I remember
You love going back
But you hate going back
This place ain’t the way I left it
Everything we had
Has gone so fast
People are people
Time is time
And everything changes
Everything changes
And people are people
Time is time
And everything changes
Everything changes
This town ain’t like I remember
You love going back
But you hate going back
This place ain’t the way I left it
Everything we had
Has gone so fast
This town ain’t like I remember
You love going back
But you hate going back
This place ain’t the way I left it
Everything we had
Has gone so fast
