The Town Where You Live (Mel Street)
|
|
Twenty miles of memories
|
¡®Til I pass right by your home
|
And I always wondered if you¡¯re a little disturbed
|
As this big rig roars along
|
|
¡®Cause I know you haven¡¯t forgotten
|
When we had so much love to give
|
And that¡¯s why I rather die than drive
|
Through the town where you live
|
|
I always noticed your two Cadilacs
|
And your twenty acre lawn
|
And that big house of stone and marble
|
Look so empty and so alone
|
|
And the tears they blur my vision
|
As I picture you there with him
|
And I¡¯d rather drive a thousand miles around
|
The town where you live
|
|
I remember when you said
|
That a truck-drivin¡¯ man
|
Couldn¡¯t give you the things you desire
|
And your hands look better with diamonds
|
And you¡¯d rather ride a chauffered driven car
|
|
Well I guess that tonight
|
You¡¯ve got all these things
|
But are you missin¡¯ the love I can give
|
If you are then Darlin¡¯ be waiting when I pass
|
Through the town where you live
|
|
If you¡¯re lonely then Darlin¡¯ be waiting when I pass
|
Through the town where you live
|
