Rodney Crowell
She’s Back In Town
Last Friday night, I took a walk
I bummed a light, I sat and listened to the talk
From what I heard, mum's ain't the word
She's back in town
Two soldier boys home from the war
Been making noise down at the end of the bar
They said they seen her, she's lean and meaner
She's back in town
She travels light, she travels swift
Keeps out of sight because she was born with a gift
She's one of those who comes and goes
She's back in town
And when she's gone, I keep my head
I sleep alone in that old big empty bed
I go to lеngths to save my strength
For when shе's back in town
She's back in town, I bet it all
Before the sun goes down, she's gonna give me a call
That says, 'Hello, hey whatcha know?'
She's back in town
She's back in town, sing hallelujah
This waiting round's been getting to ya
You start to think, 'Yea, I'm on the brink'
And then she's back in town
