Bette Midler - I Know This Town Lyrics
I know these streets and these backyards,This barn thats falling down.We come to where theyre building nowAnd ride our bikes around.You think Im just a little kid,Some troubles on the way.But I knew this place before you didIs all Ive got to say.Im only walkingThrough these streets and all around.Im only walking.I know this town.We come home through these fields at nightAbout a million times.Id walk the road with my eyes closedAnd all the paths besdies.And I know the boy who broke this fence,And I know his brother, too.And theys never give me half a chanceIf I let on to you.Im only walkingThrough these streets and all around.Im 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 sleepAnd where theyre cold and where theyre deep.Ill go down to the bowling alleyAnd buy smokes and dentyne.I find some loose change every dayUnder that coke machine.You check me out as you drive byLike there was some big deal.But I know so much youll never findFrom there behind the wheel.Im only walkingThrough these streets and all around.Im only walking.I know this town.I know this town.I know this town.I know this town.
