This Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the holy bars of Europe I bowed and said amen But when my eyes were open she had vanished once again I chased her down the highway like lights across the sky I was looking for perfection of a very basic kind [Pre-Chorus] You gotta get higher than you've been before To knock on heaven's door She could be anywhere [Chorus] This town is her town Think I know my way around Through the laughter and the lights [Verse 2] I was close to understanding, I never felt so fine Thе angels leave on horsеback but the devils are all mine I knew I'd live forever, I was flying down the years Till I heard the sound of morning, breaking glass around my ears [Pre-Chorus] You gotta get higher than you've been before To knock on heaven's door Tonight she's everywhere [Chorus] This town is her town Think I know my way around Through the laughter and the lights This town is holy ground Nothing's gonna drag me down This town is our town tonight [Bridge] Seems I'll never get away From the bitten nails and the need to pray Sweet familiar scent of danger It's the constant pull of the stranger God protect me from what I want And these places that she haunts [Chorus] This town is her town Think I know my way around Through the laughter and the lights This town is holy ground Nothing's gonna drag me down This town is our town tonight [Fiddle Solo] [Bridge] Seems I'll never get away From the bitten nails and the need to pray Sweet familiar scent of danger It's the constant pull of the stranger God protect me from what I want And these places that she haunts [Chorus] This town is her town Think I know my way around Through the laughter and the lights This town is holy ground Nothing's gonna drag me down This town is our town This town is her town Think I know my way around Through the laughter and the fights This town is holy ground Nothing's gonna drag me down This town is our town tonight [Outro] Tonight Tonight Tonight This town is our town Nothing's gonna drag me down This town is our town tonight This town is our town Nothing's gonna drag me down This town is our town (Drag me down tonight) This town is our town tonight
