Yonder Mountain String Band - Town

Yonder Mountain String Band - Town Lyrics

Send Town Ringtone to your Cell

There's a town out there
I spent a little time
I almost didn't make it out alive
Since I did I thought I'd write a song
About the things I saw while I was there

Had the same clothes
Had the same name
So I took off running right out of that town
Hope I never have to go back again

Chorus:
I won't tell you just where it is in case I ever have to go back again
But you're gonna know it if you ever pa*s through it
Provided that they let you in

Well, the moms and the dads, they drove the same cars
They had the same jobs and they didn't think a lot
If I didn't think I'd get in trouble with the law
I tell you I'd of laughed out loud

Kids got the same grades, wore the same shoes
Struttin' in maroon, velcro kangaroos
Which I liked enough, I tried to get a pair
But they didn't have any to spare

[ Chorus ]

I could tell right away I wouldn't fit in
Had the right color eyes and the right color skin
But I didn't know the sign or the magic word
And I think that they knew I smoked a bit from time to time

[ Chorus ]
