This Town Songtext
von Steve Smith

Build me up and knock me down
And write the words on the ground
Put a smile on my face
And take the weight off today
Kick the man while he′s down
You'll get no tears from this clown
If I′m smart then I'll see
There's nothing left here for me

In this town
In this town


A different name, a different place
Disappear without a trace
I live my life day to day
I′ll get a job to make the pay
Find a place to call my home
Santiago de Rio
So where the streets are all so pretty
Can you hear me New York City?

I think I like this town
In this town
I′ll stay a while in this town
In this town

I know I fooled myself
Thinking that someone would rescue me
I know I fooled myself
I'm outta here, I′m outta here today

I think I like this town
In this town
I'll stay a while in this town
In this town

A cold wind blows down the lane
And someday I′ll be back again
