J.j. Cale - This Town lyrics

rate me

This town I live in ain't fit for man or beast This town I live in ain't fit for man or beast There's a man down here, a man down there They all want to rob you or take you somewhere This town I live in ain't fit for man or beast I'm going down to the store, boy And get myself a dog I'm going down to the store, boy And get myself a dog I'm going to chain, chain, chain him Up to my fence Make him bark, bark, bark Understand my French I'm going down to the store, boy And get myself a dog If I had a hundred dollars I'd buy myself a gun If I had a hundred dollars I'd buy myself a gun I'd stick it out the door And wait for an attack I'll need somebody just to cover my back If I had a hundred dollars I'd buy myself a gun The moral of the story You better watch where you go The moral of the story, boy You better watch out where you go They'll get you in the morning They'll get you at night Some, then want to rob you But most, they want to fight This town I live in, I got to go This town I live in This town I live in, I got to go
