This Town

(アルバム： Red, White & American Blues - 2020)

Me and all my friends down by the river
Fourteen running through the streets
Living on a prayer in a teenage wasteland
Trying not to bust at the seams
We were so young, so low, tryna get high
Praying up above that our dreams never die
Putting that Jeep into four-wheel drive
Shining like stars in the sky

'Cause we grew up in this town
Yeah, we screwed up in this town
Had each other's backs when we got off track
Man, life moves fast

In this town, baby, I can never get away
I don't wanna leave, but you know I can't stay
There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads
That make me feel at home in this town
We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night
We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright
Baby, it's bittersweet
You can take me out of this town
But you can't take this town out of me
(Out of me)
(Out of me)
(But you can't take this town out of me)

Well some of us move on, some get locked up
Some don't make it out
I think about those days when we'd just meet up at Adam's house and ride around
We were so young, so lost, tryna get by
Couldn't tell us nothing, we had too much pride
Spending our weekends working part time
We were just tryna survive

'Cause we were raised in this town
Learned how to pray in this town
Seen my friends die, seen mamas cry, still asking why

In this town, baby, I can never get away
I don't wanna leave, but you know I can't stay
There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads
That make me feel at home in this town
We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night
We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright
Baby, it's bittersweet
You can take me out of this town
But you can't take this town out of me
(Out of me)
(Out of me)
(Can't take this town out of me)

'Cause we grew up in this town
We screwed up in this town
I'll remember us the way it was
It's always love

In this town, baby, I can never get away
I don't wanna leave, but you know I can't stay
There's something 'bout these hills and those country roads
That make me feel at home in this town
We laughed, we cried, we stayed out all night
We did everything wrong, but we turned out alright
Baby, it's bittersweet
You can take me out of this town
But you can't take this town out of me
(Out of me)
(Out of me)
(But you can't take this town out of me)
