"Back In Your Town" lyrics
"Back In Your Town"
I'm back in your town, I'm walkin' around
Crossin' the street, unsure on my feet
And I'm carefully lookin' around
Because I'm back in your town
I'm back in this burg. Oh, haven't you heard?
I better look to the right, double decker just might
Hit me when I step off the curb
That's why I'm back in this burg
Yes and I'm back in that place. Last time I left with hardly a trace
Now that I have returned ask me what I have learned
Go ahead and take a look on my face
I'm back in that place
You'll leave someone behind and you think you won't mind it
Till you go back and find you still care
Yeah, you're back where you started, undermined, outsmarted
By a feeling you thought wasn't there
It's still there. You know
I walked right past your house feeling like a refugee and a louse
You were at home but you were not alone
You were there with your kids and your spouse
I walked right past your house
Yes, and I'm feeling bereft, I'm feeling like I never even left
Everything's changed but is the same
It's still all here but nothin' is left
I'm feeling bereft
You'll leave someone behind and you think you won't mind it
Till you go back and find you still care
Yeah, you're back where you started, undermined, outsmarted
By a feeling you thought wasn't there
I'm back in your town, I'm walkin' around
Crossin' the street, unsure on my feet
And I'm carefully lookin' around
Hey, I'm back in your town

She made the Woolworth counter shine

From what we've seen
What can I do, still loving you

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it, will it be, the way it seems
What can I do, she's...

Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized...
