Tom Petty - Burnt Out Town lyrics

rate me

Yeah!

I was walking down the street the other day

A woman stopped me

She said :why are you loking so down in the mouth?

And I told her

This is a burnt out town

Is full of dirty looks

The ashes are mainstream

And the mayor is cooking the books

I even like those friends

I turn them into crooks

Yeah this is the burnt out town

You wear the same clothes

They dancing on the glass ceilings

While the money flows

She doesn’t know who I am

She doesn’t care

Yeah!

Take that, honey!

Instrumental

This is the burnt out town

The city has come to blow

It’s a cruel reality

A decent life exposed

Yeah,it’s the burnt out town

It’s going down but no one knows

Yeah, it’s the burnt out town

Ain’t there but we’re getting close
