This Town Songtext
Yeah summers come and gone
And life just stumbles on
I wake up to the dawn wishing I was anywhere but here
I grab my freedom keys I'm sick of this disease
I'm going where I please and I don't care if I disappear
And my soul remembers one sweet hot August night
You lay clinging to me tight
Your mouth hot as embers
I felt like we could drown
You said "damn this town"
Back the car up (I want you next to me)
To your window (My fatal fantasy)
Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere
Drink from my cup (There's nothing here for us)
Over the rainbow (Just God and you I trust)
Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer
All the malls have tumbled down
There's nothing left here in this town
I want to wake up knowing I'm anywhere but here
Rows of loveless houses
Gardens full of dying flowers
And the minutes pass like hours you know God's not living here
And I remember one scorching summer night
There was no wrong or right
And by September
You'd burned your wedding gown
And you said "Take me from this town"
Back the car up (Set my soul at ease)
To your window (we're just refugees)
Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere
Tie your hair up (This town is dirt and rust)
Over the rainbow (It's blown away like dust)
Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer
This town this town this town this town
Back the car up (I want you next to me)
To your window (My fatal fantasy)
Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere
Tie your hair up (There's nothing here for us)
Over the rainbow (Just God and you I trust)
Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer
This town this town this town this town
And life just stumbles on
I wake up to the dawn wishing I was anywhere but here
I grab my freedom keys I'm sick of this disease
I'm going where I please and I don't care if I disappear
And my soul remembers one sweet hot August night
You lay clinging to me tight
Your mouth hot as embers
I felt like we could drown
You said "damn this town"
Back the car up (I want you next to me)
To your window (My fatal fantasy)
Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere
Drink from my cup (There's nothing here for us)
Over the rainbow (Just God and you I trust)
Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer
All the malls have tumbled down
There's nothing left here in this town
I want to wake up knowing I'm anywhere but here
Rows of loveless houses
Gardens full of dying flowers
And the minutes pass like hours you know God's not living here
And I remember one scorching summer night
There was no wrong or right
And by September
You'd burned your wedding gown
And you said "Take me from this town"
Back the car up (Set my soul at ease)
To your window (we're just refugees)
Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere
Tie your hair up (This town is dirt and rust)
Over the rainbow (It's blown away like dust)
Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer
This town this town this town this town
Back the car up (I want you next to me)
To your window (My fatal fantasy)
Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere
Tie your hair up (There's nothing here for us)
Over the rainbow (Just God and you I trust)
Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer
This town this town this town this town
