this ain’t the town for pottering round too long
this ain’t the town for money tumbling down on you
this ain’t the town to look for answers
this ain’t the town to throw my chances away
on this bright shiny lonesome day hey

there’s someone i’d like to know
there’s some place i’d like to walk to
when the leaves are falling the down on the streets

this ain’t the town to paint my picture
this ain’t the town for rocking too loud
this is the town that i am gonna leave
