I see this place is booming,
growing in leaps and bounds
Everyone could see it coming,
to this town
There's hotels in the distance,
dust up in the sky
People who have everything you
want come passin' by
And when I first set foot in this town
I seen the sun go down
An d the life I left so far behind
Coming back around
This town
This town
One hot summer evening
Many years ago
I pulled in on the
Greyhound bus to this town
I saw a dog in a va cant lot,
chillin' on a bond
Wasn't long before the two of
us called this place home
And when I first set foot in this town,
I seen the sun go down
And the life I left so far behind,
coming back around
This town they said was dying
An d the change was overdue
But no matter where you're going
You're always taking you with you
Yes, you're always
taking you with you
When I first set foot in this town
I seen the sun go down
And the life I left so far behind
I'm coming back around
This town
This town
Now some brand new
apartment house
Ate up that vacant lot
While the house that
I've been living in looks like time forgot
And that phone -chiming friend of mine,
he's sleeping in the hall
Looking in the mirror is a man
I don't recognize at all
And when I first set foot in this town,
I seen the sun go down
And the life I left so far behind,
coming back around
To this town
To this town
To this town
This town
you
