This Old Town |
| Living free is gaining on me |
| Can’t keep ahead of my dreams |
| My relief turned out a thief |
| Smooth as rocks in the stream |
| This old town is a sad affair |
| You be glad you’re not there |
| It ties your hands, it spikes your drink |
| I’d say more, but I can’t think |
| Lazy Jim took a bottle with him |
| Tried to flag down a train |
| Left a note, couldn’t read what he wrote |
| A light came on in my brain |
| This old town is a sad affair |
| You be glad you’re not there |
| It ties your hands, it spikes your drink |
| I’d say more, but I can’t think |
| The hills are gold |
| Mornings are cold |
| Don’t know a soul on the street |
| I keep to myself like everyone else |
| Nobody says much to me |
| Go to bed, fight thoughts in my head |
| In the time between wake and sleep |
| Rats to kill, contracts to fill |
| It’s on ice, but it won’t keep |
| This old town is a sad affair |
| You be glad you’re not there |
| It ties your hands, it spikes your drink |
| I’d say more, but I can’t think |
| This old town is a sad affair |
| You be glad you’re not there |
| It ties your hands, it spikes your drink |
| I’d say more, but I can’t think |
