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 and some TLC And she'll light right up if you come around You know that you never wanna leave this town
