This Town Lyrics

[VERSE 1]



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 young, so low tryn'a get high

Praying up above that our dreams never die

Putting that Jeep into four-wheel drive

Shining like stars in the sky



[PRE Chorus]



We grew up in this town

We screwed up in this town

Had each other's backs when we got off track

Man life moves fast



[Chorus]



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 makes 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



[VERSE 2]



Well some of us move on, some get locked up

And some don't make it out

I think about those days when we'd just meet up at Adam's house and just 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



[PRE Chorus]



Cuz we were raised in this town

Learned how to pray in this town

Seen my friends die, seen mommas cry, still asking why



[Chorus]



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 makes 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



[BRIDGE]



Cuz we grew up in this town

We screwed up in this town

I'll remember us the way it was

It's always love



[Chorus]



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 makes 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
