Lyrics
Your Town is Just Like Mine
Chorus 1
Your town is just like mine (repeat)
Need something to pass the time, your town is just like mine
(When I think about it, it blows my mind).
V1.
In this small town, feels like ghosts are around.
A lamp lights up the street.
Bandstand, a lonely old man
No sounds of shufflin? feet.
A radio plays, a young girl prays at the bottom of her canopy bed.
Chorus 2 (see Chorus 1)
V2.
Deliberating jury, an innocent man?s fury
They condemn him for life until he?s dead.
Talk show host, ain?t even close
Has no idea just what he say.
Freak show (mad laughs, delay effect)
The weatherman said snow
Outside, the children are playing
Chorus 3
Your town is just like mine (repeat)
Get out to the bright sunshine, your town is just like mine
Solos
V3.
A storm breaks, the earth shakes
And the animals have felt it first.
People of all sizes, rumors run for prizes.
At the bar, I?ll kill my thirst.
A farmer?s yield, a crack in your windshield
You drive, until you get to town.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
