This Old Town
You're staring back through a rearview mirror
Blasting nonsense 'cause no one can hear you
The summer wind is blowing all around
Just like it always does in this old town
You smile as you pass over these old streets
The memories come fast, then they're fast asleep
The teachers and the preacher saying, "Don't get down"
Those words that echo through this old town
Just smile, reminisce
You don't have to miss this place
Smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
Once it was your world, now it feels so strange
Another cigarette, but it's not the same
Thoughts are flooding back, you're trying not to drown
It's like nobody knows you in this old town
This town she's holding strong to the past
The kids are always saying, "Let's get out of here at last"
But it never fails to prove those youthful thoughts wrong
Stuck in a circle with the same old song
Singing smile, reminisce
You don't have to miss this place
Smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
You glance up from the wheel, empty road ahead
The dashboard dancer is shaking her head
Her hula girl skirt is moving all around
She's waving goodbye to this old town
Just smile, reminisce
You don't have to miss this place
Just smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
Just smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
Blasting nonsense 'cause no one can hear you
The summer wind is blowing all around
Just like it always does in this old town
You smile as you pass over these old streets
The memories come fast, then they're fast asleep
The teachers and the preacher saying, "Don't get down"
Those words that echo through this old town
Just smile, reminisce
You don't have to miss this place
Smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
Once it was your world, now it feels so strange
Another cigarette, but it's not the same
Thoughts are flooding back, you're trying not to drown
It's like nobody knows you in this old town
This town she's holding strong to the past
The kids are always saying, "Let's get out of here at last"
But it never fails to prove those youthful thoughts wrong
Stuck in a circle with the same old song
Singing smile, reminisce
You don't have to miss this place
Smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
You glance up from the wheel, empty road ahead
The dashboard dancer is shaking her head
Her hula girl skirt is moving all around
She's waving goodbye to this old town
Just smile, reminisce
You don't have to miss this place
Just smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
Just smile, reminisce
It's okay to miss this place
