A New Town Is a Blue Town
[SID]
A new town is a blue town
A "who do you know" and "show me what you can do" town
There's no red carpet at your feet
If you're not tough they'll try to beat you down
In a new blue town
The old town, it's not like the old town
You don't take long to find that you're in a cold town
But you know you can lick it
Didn't buy a round trip ticket
To this cold, cold new blue town
Well, nobody asked me to come here
And nobody asked me to stay
Made up my own mind
And I know that I'll find my own way
Since that first day when I said, "Hi, town"
They damned well tried to make me say, "Goodbye, town"
But I won't leave until I make it my town
They'll see
This one-horse, two-bit hick of a new town
Ain't gonna lick me
Well, nobody asked me to come here
Nobody asked me to stay
Made up my own mind
And I know that I'll find my own way
Since that first day when I said, "Hi, town"
They damned well tried to make me say, "Goodbye, town"
Oh, but I won't leave until I make it my town
They'll see
This one-horse, two-bit hick of a new town
Ain't gonna lick me
