Little Town Blues

lyrics

They were standing in the rain
He was leaning on the car
He said I’m talkin’ to you baby
But I don’t know who you are
I used to hang the moon
You used to be the stars


Left the car in the driveway
Threw away the keys
Grabbed his coat & started walking
Toward the dark end of the street
Used to feel like king of the hill
Now he just feels incomplete


Little town blues
Stones in your shoes
They’ll take all you can lose
These little town blues


They’ve got 20 years of happy snaps
In albums in the hall
They got 3 kids & a mortgage
That’s got him by the balls
She said honey we ain’t all out of love
We’re just a little overdrawn

He said all this useless beauty
All your sacred cows
All your magazine covers
And designer baby showers
All that stuff that we think we need
It means nothing to me now
