[Verse 1]
I've been to town
I've walked the highways and the harbors too
I've done some things I never thought I'd ever do
Now as I stand here looking down at you
You ask me why it is I frown
I guess it's 'cause I've been to town

[Verse 2]
I've been to town
Beyond the boulevards and down the beach
I've learned some things that only time can teach
For instance, love is more than just a speech
It's got to find a common ground
I know 'cause I've been to town

[Bridge]
Don't tell me anymore lies
I can't waste anymore years
I've seen my image in your eyes
Dissolve in disappointed tears

[Verse 3]
I've been to town
You ask me do I know the Milky Way
I do, and furthermore, I'd like to say
It isn't milky white, it's dingy gray
Especially when your world breaks down
I know because I've been to town
