Our 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.
Billy cut his hair last night
The cops said he didn't look right
For our town
We sell poultry, eggs and meat, but
Your kind don't shop on this street
In our town
And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say
We'll send money halfway around the world,
But don't you go callin' on the girls
In our town
The job is taken, apartment's gone
Must've forgot to take the sign off the lawn
In our town
And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say
There ain't nothin' wrong with a pretty face
I hope all the girls know their place
In our town
Well, I don't want you to misunderstand but
You can't have a woman takin' work from a man
In our town
And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say
Oh don't judge a book by the cover
Never meant one thing or another
In our town
All the houses look the same
You see, tradition is the name of the game
In our town
Yes it is
And it's a funny thing
It's always been that way
It's never gonna change
I'd say
