Vic Chesnutt - New Town lyrics

rate me

new town reeks of lumber

new town beat the crowds

new town kittens discover

that the birds scrape the ground

and even the loneliest old ladies get social calls

where they dine and talk about their savior

and the grassroots effort to incorporate

elects a smiling mayor

new town Americana

new town rookie police

new town industries are wanted for the local employees

and a little bitty baby draws a nice clean breath

from over his beaming momma's shoulder

he's staring at the worldly wonders

that stretch just as far as he can see

but he'll stop staring when he's older

oh, new town

new town

new town

and even the loneliest old ladies get social calls

where they dine and talk about their savior

and the grassroots effort to incorporate

elects a smiling mayor

new town

new town

new town ...<br />

<br />
