I Love This Town Lyrics

Artist: Nanci Griffith
Album: Hearts in Mind

(with Jimmy Buffett)

I love this townâ‚¬ like an unmade bed
I love this townâ‚¬ of the living dead
I love this townâ‚¬ gonna paint it red
If I can spare a minute

I love this townâ‚¬ where curtains twitch
Where this door scratchesâ‚¬ next doorâ‚¬â„¢s itch
Itâ‚¬â„¢s a pantomimeâ‚¬ at fever pitch
And we can all be in it

People here are large as life
They know the whole world and his wife
From a razorâ‚¬â„¢s edge to a kitchen knife
Theyâ‚¬â„¢ll be glad to help you

I love this townâ‚¬ of hidden charms
Where no one meansâ‚¬ you any harm
And if you sleepâ‚¬ through false alarms
No one here would blame you

I love this townâ‚¬ on the beaten track
Where nothing slipsâ‚¬ between the cracks
Her rent's arrearsâ‚¬ his heart attack
Now isnâ‚¬â„¢t that a shame, ooh!

Everyoneâ‚¬â„¢s friendly to your face
And everybody knows their place
As long as you respect their space
You wonâ‚¬â„¢t have to worry

The town hall clock is calling out
Itâ‚¬â„¢s rush hour on the roundabout
Now I know without a doubt
Itâ‚¬â„¢s the place for meâ‚¬

I love this townâ‚¬ the dirty streets
Itâ‚¬â„¢s a merry-go-roundâ‚¬ with broken seats
Where silk and laceâ‚¬ and satin sheets
Are only dirty washing

I love this townâ‚¬ down on its knees
Itâ‚¬â„¢s going underâ‚¬ by degrees
Still we can doâ‚¬ just as we please
As long as no oneâ‚¬â„¢s watching

I love this townâ‚¬ I love this townâ‚¬
I love this townâ‚¬ I love this townâ‚¬
