My Old Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What's happening to my old town? They went and knocked half the buildings down They built 'em back up from the ground While I was gone away [Verse 2] Now there's knick-knack shops and restaurants In the place of my old haunts Everything a man could want At least that's what they say [Verse 3] Well, I hit my old bars on the pier Where I've been drunk year after year Find I can't afford the price of beer Unless I drink at home [Verse 4] Now the street lights and the cops abound I've never seen so many cops in town Protection now when the sun goes down There was only us before [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] What's happening to my old town? They went and knocked half the buildings down They built 'em back up from the ground While I was gone away
