The Secret To This Town

(álbum: Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth - 2022)

Number twenty-five got his jersey up high
In that mechanic shop down on main
There's no stopping when ya get him talking
'Bout the play that took 'em to state
I can almost see it as his eyes light up
Right with him in the glory days
Some boys went to college, some went to war
He stayed around to make the keys crank

These city limits
Are the people in it

It's amazing grace that's found
In this main-street sacred ground
And a band playing on a Friday night
Team lined up on the 50 yard line
With the fans in the stands making the sweetest sounds
And that's the secret to this town

The girl next door just turned twenty-four
And now she's married and she got a kid
She used to daydream about the day she'd leave
Now she's glad as hell she never did
Now it's hurry up and wait and baseball games
And a home-by-supper-time kiss
Sometimes got it made is a life you wouldn't trade
'Cause there ain't much better than this

These city limits
Are the people in it

It's amazing grace that's found
In this main-street sacred ground
Working your hands 'til they bleed
Just to make sure you got all you need
Falling into the arms of the one you love when you lay it down
That's the secret to this town

It's a place to come back to
Where everybody really knows you

It's amazing grace that's found
In this main-street sacred ground
Made-from-scratch potluck table
Always give when you're able
Take a piece of it no matter where you're bound
Yeah all ya gotta do is just look around
That's the secret to this town
Oh, that's the secret to this town
