Something About This Town

[Verse 1]

Back in the fields they painted gold

Where every breath just feels like home

The people may have changed

To me, it's still the same

[Pre-Chorus]

Walking the streets that made this man

Talking the tongue that I once had

So clear

I guess history writes itself here

[Chorus]

Forget all the bright lights, the towering skylines

There's something about this town

Where heaven is closer, the weight off my shoulders

There's something about this town

And I can't change what I am made of now

I guess there's something about this town

[Verse 2]

The faces are lost at Old John Bull's

I guess the sands of time are cruel

Somebody calls my name

Wish I could do the same

[Pre-Chorus]

Lights of the grand hotel's gone dark

But stars seem to shine with a different spark

So clear

I guess history writes itself here

[Chorus]

Forget all the bright lights, the towering skylines

There's something about this town

Where heaven is closer, the weight off my shoulders

There's something about this town

So people say that I have made it now

I guess there's something about this town

[Bridge]

(There's something about this town)

I dream of colors that are evergreen

Oh, whenever I'm southbound

So please forgive sentimentality

Oh, there's something about this town

[Chorus]

So forget all the bright lights, the towering skylines

There's something about this town

Where heaven is closer, the weight off my shoulders

There's something about this town

And I can't change what I am made of now

I guess there's something about this town
