Second Rate Town (Acoustic)

This is a first rate town
And all you ever notice are the ways it's stretched too far
Well it has been knocked down
But some of us are still left here between the scars
And when you look around
All you ever notice is you cannot see the stars
This is a first rate town
A first rate town you know
You just can't see very far
You can never leave
'Cause they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
'Cause they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
'Cause they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
When the last door closed
You packed your clothes
And went back to Montreal
Said it was colder there, a chill hangs in the air
It helps you forget it all
You left an empty bookshelf
That I didn't fill till fall
This is a first rate town
A first rate town you know
You just don't see it at all
You can never leave
'Cause they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
'Cause they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
'Cause they'll hold it against me
You can never leave
Well it will fade as all things must
I loved you, but, you didn't love me enough
Winter comes, the car will rust
I'll start it up
Then always run a little rough
This is a first rate town
And all you ever notice are the ways It's stretched too far
They keep the death rates down
It's colder than winter spent in defrosting cars
We talked a lot of leaving
Didn't think you'd get that far
This is a first rate town
A first rate town you know
You just can't see very far
