Hornsby Bruce Talk Of The Town Lyrics

Talk Of The Town Lyrics

(by B.R. Hornsby)

  

  I've been riding around with the top down

  Like I always do

  My love at my side, but only this time

  My friends say something's changed you

  They said you're running with the wrong set

  The girl is someone you should never have met

  Let her go on her own, son

  Everyone else has just come undone

  

  The old town fathers are up in arms

  The city council is very alarmed

  Cousins and uncles are having fits

  Predictors of doom think this is it

  Everybody else is just hanging around

  And me and me baby we're the talk of the town

  

  The statue there in the town square

  Seems to stare at me

  Walking around with my head down

  They say can't we make you see

  Said, son, you know w're really color blind

  But everybody else seems to really mind

  Lose her now, I think you'll find

  Everything else will just fall in line

  

  The Chamber of Commerce is up in arms

  The city council is very alarmed

  Cousins and uncles are having fits

  Predictors of doom think this is it

  Everyone else is just thinking out loud

  And me and my baby are the talk of the town

  

  We're probably not the first

  Surely not the last

  Shouldn't throw stones out from your house of glass

  Round here lots of crackers and cheese

  Stay away from theose my daddy said to me

  You'll get in trouble if you mess with these

  

  The old town fathers are up in arms

  The city council is very alarmed

  Cousins and uncles are having fits

  Predictors of doom think this is it

  Everybody else is just hanging around

  And me and me baby we're the talk of the town
