This Town

( ) = response
Bolded letters = two voice harmony
*Bolded letters = three voice harmony

Let me tell you bout my town, it?s just a thought or two due east from L. A
(California ? where the sun shines bright)
Where drinks are always on the house, your meals are hot with low bills to pay
(shot of bourbon ? will help me through the night)

We?ve got? music on the corners, we?ve got dances in the park
*We?ve got pretty girls in cowboy boots, who wander out at dark

Let me tell you bout my girl, she?s got a smile that glows like Paris at night
(kinda wholesome ? but pure red, white and blue)
Well she can dance to damn near anything, and always make a good man feel right
(always anxious ? for a stab at something new)

She?s got?rhythm in her pockets
She?s got two-step on the line
*She?s got thoughts of lasting happiness, that never leave her mind

Chorus

Now this town, is pure Americana
*Picturesque and unrefined
Only focused on what matters
Now this town, *is a pretty good town to me

So let me tell you bout my friends, they?re just the greatest folk that I?ve ever known
(hello buddy ? well how?s your day thus far)
When things get bad they stick around, while all the other vermin have flown
(call old Jacob ? I think he?s at the bar)

They?ve got?pickups in their driveways
They?ve got whitetails on the wall
*They?ve got ID on their phones, but always answer when I call

I say it to you now?
Well these friends, are pure Americana
*Picturesque and unrefined,
only focused on what matters
Well these friends, *are some pretty good friends to me

Bridge verse:
Big smiles, inner beauty
The building blocks of this simplified community
Good things, are always happening here

Now let me tell you bout my boys, a new adventure sent to me everyday
(always happy ? they?ll laugh at anything)
From dirty clothes thrown on the floor, to CD?s that I won?t let them play
(doesn?t take much ? to get all three to sing)

We?ve got? movies on the T.V
We?ve got girlfriends on the phone
*We?ve got trials and tribulations, that we never face alone

I gotta say it to you?
Well these boys, are pure Americana
*Picturesque and unrefined
Only focused on what matters
Well these boys, *are some pretty good boys to me

Now my life, is pure Americana
*Picturesque and unrefined
Only focused on what matters
Now this life, *is a pretty good life for me
