Listen up kid It's not what you think Staying up too late Had a little too much to drink Walked home across the bridge When the Marquee shut down There's a reason that I love this town Nobody cares how much money you have If you've got enough to get in a cab There'll be drinks on the house if your house burns down There's a reason that I love this town I saw your band in the early days We all understand why you moved away We'll hold a grudge anyway I shot the shit with Miniature Tim If he needs a tune, then I'll write one for him We like the same books and we like the same sounds There's a reason that I love this town I played a show In Kelowna last year They said pick it up Joel We're dying in here Picture one hand clapping And picture half that sound There's a reason that I hate that town If you saw my band in the early days Then you'll understand why we moved away But you'll hold a grudge anyway Because it's fun Davey and me Face down in our soup In some French restaurant Outside Riviere Du Loup Last night out on tour We burned the place to the ground There's a reason that I love this town There's a reason that I love this town There's a reason that I love this town
