Joe Purdy - This Town lyrics
[Joe Purdy - This Town lyrics]
She was walking with lover at night
Momma didn't know where she was
Nearly started a riot
She called the police to check it out
Took her boyfriend downtown
They thought he was a criminal
Yeah, thought he was a real hard case
But she thought oh, what do they know anyway
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 in this town
In this town
Nothing ever changes in this town
The story's always the same one in this town
And it's thank you lord for keeping us safe
And it's thank you mother for making us brave
She was a single mother
Working at a restaurant
Under protective custody
And everyday her boy reminds her
Of what they lost
By moving away from the city
And she says I know you
Miss your friends in LA
But at least your father is so far away
From this town from this town
Nothing ever changes in this town
Oh the story's always the same
One in this town
And it's thank you lord for keeping us safe
And it's thank you mother for making us brave
For making us brave
And there's an old man on
The front porch swing
And he's always talking to nobody
But, if you ever stop to listen
You might learn a thing or two
Yeah, I'm talking to you
See he once was a young man
And he was holding a young girl's hand
And they were walking down by
The lake in about 1948
And they had a first kiss
Oh with the moon shining down
And they had true love
Oh it really could be found in this town
Oh in this town yeah in this town
Yeah in this town
Nothing ever changes in this town
Oh the story's always the same
One in this town
And it's thank you lord for keeping us safe
And it's thank you mother for making us
Oh for making us brave for making us brave
In this town oh in this town
Momma didn't know where she was
Nearly started a riot
She called the police to check it out
Took her boyfriend downtown
They thought he was a criminal
Yeah, thought he was a real hard case
But she thought oh, what do they know anyway
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 in this town
In this town
Nothing ever changes in this town
The story's always the same one in this town
And it's thank you lord for keeping us safe
And it's thank you mother for making us brave
She was a single mother
Working at a restaurant
Under protective custody
And everyday her boy reminds her
Of what they lost
By moving away from the city
And she says I know you
Miss your friends in LA
But at least your father is so far away
From this town from this town
Nothing ever changes in this town
Oh the story's always the same
One in this town
And it's thank you lord for keeping us safe
And it's thank you mother for making us brave
For making us brave

The front porch swing
And he's always talking to nobody

The lake in about 1948
And they had a first kiss
Oh with the moon shining down
And they had true love
Oh it really could be found in this town
Oh in this town yeah in this town
Yeah in this town
Nothing ever changes in this town
Oh the story's always the same
One in this town
And it's thank you lord for keeping us safe
And it's thank you mother for making us
Oh for making us brave for making us brave
In this town oh in this town
