I Love This Town - Joel Plaskett

Listen up kid, it’s not what you think

Stayed out too late, had a little to much to drink

Walked home 'cross the bridge, when the Marquee shut down

There’s a reason that I love this town

Nobody cares how much money you have

If you’ve got enough to get in a cab

There’ll be drinks on the house if your house burns down

There’s a reason that I love this town

I saw your band in the early days

We all understand why you moved away

But we’ll hold a grudge anyway

I shot the shit with Miniature Tim

If he needs a hit then I’ll write one for him

We like the same books and we like the same sounds

There’s a reason that I love this town

I played a show in Kelowna last year

They said, «Pick it up Joel, we’re dyin' in here.»

Picture one hand clapping, now picture half that sound

There’s a reason that I hate that town

If you saw my band in the early days

Then you understand why we moved a way

But you’ll hold a grudge any way (because it’s fun)

Davey and me, face down in our soup

Some French restaurant outside Riviere De Loup

Last night of the tour we burnt the place to the ground

There’s a reason that I love this town
