This town

Joe purdy
She was walkin' with lovin' in her eyes
Momma didn't know where she was
She nearly started a riot
She called the police to check it out
Took her boyfriend down town
He thought he was a criminal
Yeah, he though he was a real hard case
Oh what a day,
Oh what a waste
In this town

Was a Friday night football game
Down at the high school stadium
She was a cheerleader
With her quarterback sneaking out behind the bleachers to play
'Cause they don't care what people say
In this town

Nothing ever changes in this town
And the story's always the same one in this town
And I thank you lord for keepin' us safe
And I thank you mother for making us pray

She is a single mother workin' at a restaurant
Under protective custody
And every day a boy reminds her of what they lost
By movin' away from the city
She says I know that you miss your friends in L.A.
But at least your father is so far away
From this town
From this town

Nothin' ever changes in this town
And the story's always the same one in this town
And I thank you lord for keepin' us safe
And I thank you mother for making us pray
For making us pray

There's an old man on a front porch swing
And he's always talkin' to nobody
But if you ever stop to listen
You might learn a thing or two
Yeah, I'm talkin' to you

You see, once he was a young man
And he was holdin' a young girl's hand
And they where walking' down by the lake
And about 1948
And they had their first kiss
Oh, with the moon shining down
And they had the true love
Oh, it really could be found
In this town
Oh, in this town
Oh
Yeah, in this town
Yeah, in this town

Nothin' ever changes in this town
And the story's always the same one in this town
And I thank you lord for keepin' us safe
And I thank you mother for making us
Oh, for making us pray
For making us pray
In this town
Oh, in this town
It's just the way it goes in this town
It's just the way things go in this town
