I've been to town
I've walked the highways and in the suburbs too
I've done some things I never thought I'd ever do
Now as I stand here looking down at you
You ask me why it is I frown
I guess it's 'cause I've been to town

I've been to town 
Beyond the boulevard and down the beach
I've learned some things only time can teach
For instance, love is more than just a little speech
It's got to find a common ground
I know because I've been to town

Don't tell me any more, I
I can't waste any more years
I've seen my image in your eyes
Dissolve in disappointed tears

I've been to town
You ask me: do I know the Milky Way
I do, and furthermore I'd like to say
It isn't milky white, it's dingy gray
Especially when your world breaks down
I know because I've been to town
