<b>This Old Town</b> by <i>Cornmeal</i><br />Cornmeal - This Old Town

This old town has got me still

I pray to god I’ll find another

On my life I know I will

Once I spent my 40 days and nights under the desert’s gaze

Even I could find trouble all the while

Took too much to drinking and those lonely night left a-thinking

Even I could hear that desert wind sigh

I prayed to god to save my life

Chorus:

Once I knew a preacher man Preached the bible hand in hand

All that he knew had done been used

He left one night in the quiet town an old man lost and another found

Now there’s nothing left for him to loose

He prayed to god to help him choose

Chorus:

You know I had a girl one-night hold me sayin’ things were right

And took me to a place I’ve never been

She told me things I’d never heard about the way the world had turned

As I awoke to a full moon on the rise

I prayed to God to save my life
