Only in this town
You're born to hang around until you die
And only in this town
All you're really passed down is a place in line
At the factory, at the drive through
At the church for priests you can cry to
For beer at the bar while the rest of the world spins round

Only in this town
They don't give a damn who I think I am
No, they hold my feet to my family name
I'm just one of them, and that won't ever change
And only in this town
Does it feel like home, does the light come on
When I pull back in, it's clear as day
There's only one place in this world they'll ever lay me down

Only in this town
Does everything shut down Friday night
And only in this town
Does the homecoming queen crown start a fight
Yeah, it's politics as usual
Over fences, phone lines, and cubicles
Yeah, the same old stories and rumors keep flying around

Only in this town
They don't give a damn who I think I am
No, they hold my feet to my family name
I'm just one of them, and that won't ever change
And only in this town
Does it feel like home, does the light come on
When I pull back in, it's clear as day
There's only one place in this world they'll ever lay me down

Only in this town
Only in this town

Only in this town
Do I see us around every turn
And only in this town
Do those same old questions still burn
Are you happy? Do you miss me?
Should I have begged you, "baby come with me?"
Should I have hung up all this dreaming and settled down?

Only in this town
Only in this town
