This Town

Jack Daniels ain't gonna hold your hair in the morning Them Marlboro reds ain't gonna help you sing And that song you wrote ain't hittin' with the tourists And those Midtown boys only want one thing You drink all night Write all day and it's breaking you Just trying to catch a break It's broke my heart more than any man Puts me through hell but made me who I am I'll die on this hill When it's killin' me It's as magic as it is mean But nothing worth a damn Ever comes for free And it don't care if I stay But I'll never leave 'Cause I love this town More than it's ever loved me They'll try to paint your friends as competition Don't sing too sweet but try not to sound so tough Don't sound the same but try not to sound too different You're too country 'til you ain't country enough It's broke my heart more than any man Puts me through hell but made me who I am I'll die on this hill When it's killin' me It's as magic as it is mean But nothing worth a damn Ever comes for free And it don't care if I stay But I'll never leave 'Cause I love this town More than it's ever loved me (Ooo) It only takes a decade if you're lucky There ain't nothing like the come down Or the high If you make it, don't make it about the money It ain't where I was born but I swear it's where I'll die 'Cause I love this town I love this town
