Old Town
Mama told me, dont play with fire
Gonna burn this whole place down
Didn't matter till' the flames surrounded
Everybody in town
No I never had much to speak of
But I sure as hell had time
Spend our days trying' to shake em down for
Only nickels and dimes... nickels and dimes
CH: And this Old Town... Is bringin' me down
This Old Town... is bringin' me down
Idle hands, is the devils play-thing
In those moonlit streets at night
In and out of those open windows
Until the morning light... morning light
Wasn't long till' they came a calling
Wanna run me outta town
Last thing that they heard me sayin'
Was boy I'll see you around... see you around
And this Old Town... is bringin' me down
This Old Town... is bringin' me down
Now that Old Town, can't bring me down
That Old Town, can't bring me down
Gonna burn this whole place down
Didn't matter till' the flames surrounded
Everybody in town
No I never had much to speak of
But I sure as hell had time
Spend our days trying' to shake em down for
Only nickels and dimes... nickels and dimes
CH: And this Old Town... Is bringin' me down
This Old Town... is bringin' me down
Idle hands, is the devils play-thing
In those moonlit streets at night
In and out of those open windows
Until the morning light... morning light
Wasn't long till' they came a calling
Wanna run me outta town
Last thing that they heard me sayin'
Was boy I'll see you around... see you around
And this Old Town... is bringin' me down
This Old Town... is bringin' me down
Now that Old Town, can't bring me down
That Old Town, can't bring me down
