God Bless This Town

You just thought you knew about rumors, man

But you ain't ever lived in my town

Population 153

And it's still going down

Oh, what's his name's runnin' around with Mary?

He'll last, I heard he'd already been married three times

You've been gone for what, about eight years now?

Yeahh, and they're still spreadin' rumors about you

You grew your hair long and shaggy

And gettin' drunk is all that you do

They forgot that you play your music

Yeah, they gave up on you a long, long time ago

Whoa, God bless this town

It's so good to be back home

Yeah, how you been doing?

Lord, I know it's been so long

Tell your family "hello"

I'm sure I'll see you around

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town

Well, small towns are supposed to be small

Until being big gets in the way

A man doesn't play by their rules

Then he's not welcome to stay

Politics don't care about 21 years of service

Being a puppet is something he'll never be

Whoa, God bless this town

It's so good to be back home

Yeah, how you been doing?

Lord, I know it's been so long

Tell your family "hello"

I'm sure I'll see you around

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town

Keep talking all you want

I guess that's all you ever do

Soon I'll find my place

And I'll wave as I pass through

Whoa, God bless this town

It's so good to be back home

Whoa, how you been doing?

Lord, I know it's been so long

Tell your family "hello"

I'm sure I'll see you around

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up type

God bless this town

Yeah, God bless this town

Yeah, you just saw that you knew about Rembrandt's man

But you ain't never lived in my town

No, you haven't
