Alan Price - My Town lyrics

rate me

Down on the corner of the street

Where I was born we used to meet

And sing the old songs

We called them dole songs

And we'd harmonize so clear

Even though it was the beer

That made the tears run

About the years gone by

And we'd go home and kiss the wife

Hoping a kiss could change your life

That's how romance is

No second chances

Back in my home town

(instrumental break)

Things aren't so very different now

Poor folk must get along somehow

You live forever

On the never never

Back in my home town
