This Town - Ross Ellis

When I come home for the holidays

Nothin' but the season changes

Round here

'Cause round here

Time stands still and bridges don’t burn

There we are 'round every turn on

Every street

I see you when I see

That old black tux hangin' up in the closet

Junior prom the night we lost it

My first truck backseat

We wrote «I love u» on a burnt CD

That overpass at the county line

Has our names in spray paint white

I see it every time I drive home

Swear around here it’s like time

Froze up

That heart we cut in that pine

Black sharpie on a red stop sign

Those marks we left behind

This town still thinks you’re mine

Old friends meet up at the corner booth

Still leave room by me for you

I swear

It feels like you’re there

Mama still sits in the front row pew

Still leaves room by me for you

Heads are bowed

But all I’m really thinkin' 'bout

Is that

That old black tux hangin' up in the closet

Junior prom the night we lost it

My first truck backseat

We wrote «I love u» on a burnt CD

That overpass at the county line

Has our names in spray paint white

I see it every time I drive home

Swear around here it’s like time

Froze up

That heart we cut in that pine

Black sharpie on a red stop sign

Those marks we left behind

This town still thinks you’re mine

This town ain’t givin' us no closure

It’s over but it ain’t quite over

No girl no girl

That old black tux hangin' up in the closet

Junior prom the night we lost it

My first truck backseat

We wrote «I love u» on a burnt CD

That overpass at the county line

Has our names in spray paint white

I see it every time I drive home

Swear around here it’s like time

Froze up

That heart we cut in that pine

Black sharpie on a red stop sign

Those marks we left behind

This town still thinks you’re mine
