I Know This Town

Well, I know these streets and these backyards

This barn that's falling down

We come to where they're building now

And ride our bikes around

And you think I'm just a little kid

Some trouble on the way

Well, I knew this place before you did

Is all I've got to say

I'm only walking

Through these streets and all around

I'm only walking

I know this town

We come home through these fields at night

About a million times

I've walked the road with my eyes closed

And all the paths besides

And I know the boy who broke this fence

I know his brothers too

And they'd never give me half a chance

If I let on to you

I'm only walking

Through these streets and all around

I'm only walking

I know this town

I know this town

We dam the streams, we raid the shacks

And hide in boxcars on the tracks

We know these quarries in our sleep

And where they're cold and where they're deep

So I go down to the bowling alley

Buy smokes and empty

I find some loose change every day

Under that Coke machine

I'm only walking

Through these streets and all around

I'm only walking

I know this town

I know this town

I know this town

I know this town

I'm only walking
