Down Home Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world outside don't like us much
'Cause they ain't got our classy touch
But they ain't good enough to breathe
This town's good air, we make 'em leave
But it's no, no, no
Really can't do that
No, no, no
Down hometown
No monkey business in this town
Who do you think you're pushing 'round?
This town's respectable and clean
Just look around, you'll see what I mean
But it's no, no, no
Really can't do that
No, no, no
Down hometown
Down hometown
Down hometown
Down hometown
Down hometown
Down hometown
Down hometown
But it's no, no, no
Really can't do that
No, no, no
Down hometown
We got the best town band around
Just listen to their crazy sound
When they get hot, they gonna blow
You see them winnin' every show
Wish I was in the land of Dixie
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Look away!
Down hometown (gotta get down, gotta get down)
Down hometown (gotta get down, gotta get down)
Down hometown
Down hometown (ooh, I think they're coming down now)
Down hometown
But it's no, no, no (no)
Really can't do that (she loves you)
No, no, no (I can't do that)
Down hometown
Wish I was in the land of Dixie
Look away! Look away!
