McCrea Adams: Music/lyrics
IN THIS TOWN
(McCrea Adams)
She stares out through the window
of this two-bit restaurant
She serves 'em pie and coffee
she brings 'em what they want
The summer shines on the highway and the fields
out past the glass and the stainless steel
She slides around the counter
walks out into the heat
Says let them come and find her
and she dances down the street
She hears the whispers hang in the air
she turns around, but there's no one there
In this town
nobody tells you nothing
In this town
you're always the last to know
In this town
you're in the dark, and you're feeling around
Got their heads in the sand
both feet on the ground in this town
And she wants to fly
And I know just how she's feeling
'cause I see her every day
And I say we should be leaving
but we always seem to stay
There's a rope around my leg that's dragging me
down
if I don't get free I'm gonna drown
In this town
nobody tells you nothing
In this town
and baby it's time to go
In this town
take one look back, but don't look down,
Got their heads in the sand
both feet on the ground in this town
And we're gonna fly
