This town, is a lonely town
Not the only town like this town
This town, is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town
This town, is a quiet town
For a riot town like this town
This town, is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town
This town, well it's an all-right town
For an uptight town, like this town
This town, is a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-found town
This town, is a lonely town
Not the only town like this town
This town, is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town
This town, is a quiet town
For a riot town like this town
This town, is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town
This town, well it's an all-right town
For an uptight town, like this town
This town, is a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-found town
Have you seen the sun?
It still hangs in the sky.
Have you seen the birds?
They still know how to fly.
Have you seen the rivers?
They still float to the rim.
Have you seen the old man?
He knows all about them.
And have you seen the lovers?
They still pray for the dark.
Have you seen the canyons?
They still sleep in the park.
Have you seen the mountains?
They still hug the snow.
And have you seen the old man?
He's ready to go.
And his tongue,
his tounge tastes forever,
and his mind wonders
what forever will bring.
And in this place they call forever,
will there be any songs to sing.
(That feels good)
(That feels even better)
Take me down to some river
Take my hand and lead me across
'cause I’ve won such a little
compared to what I lost
Toocie Brown was a loser
When she sang me this song
she was nothing but a streetwalkin' boozer
but old Barton he tagged along
We drank white wine every morning
(good)
We drank red wine every night
(much better)
When that moon didn’t shine Lord
(turn it off)
Toocie lid off of her pie
Drove me down to a level
Smoking good old opium
(whatever that is)
paying dues to the devil
all she left me was a song
(in the wrong key)
(Keep playing it that way it feels good)
Toocie Brown was a loser
When she sang me this song
Just a streetwalkin' boozer
And so I tagged along
We drank white wine every morning
(Delicious)
We drank red wine every night
(Fascinating)
And when that moon didn’t shine Lord
Toocie got on her knees
and made everything right
She brought me down to her level
Smoking good old opium
Been been been to the devil yeah
and all she left me was a song
Lord I'd like to leave this town
Lord I'd like to leave this town
But I guess I'll hang around
But I guess I'll hang around
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is where I was born
yeah trouble is where I was born
[harmonica]
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is where I was born
yeah trouble is where I was born
Trouble
Trouble
