This Town - The Swon Brothers

Was gonna write you a letter

With so much on my mind

A call woulda been better

But you never really had the time

It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face

Your last name and your number changed

You found someone, you had a baby

I guess nothing ever stays the same

This town ain’t like I remember

You love going back

But you hate going back

This place ain’t the way I left it

Everything we had

Has gone so fast

Your daddy used to preach in Jesus' name

But now he just smokes and drinks all day

Since your momma died, she was his whole life

Well, God, I hope it gets better

He always loved the thought of you and me

He said, «Go ahead son she’s gonna love that ring»

Looking back now probably should’ve stayed

I made a promise, I should’ve kept it

This town ain’t like I remember

You love going back

But you hate going back

This place ain’t the way I left it

Everything we had

Has gone so fast

People are people

Time is time

And everything changes

Everything changes

And people are people

Time is time

And everything changes

Everything changes

This town ain’t like I remember

You love going back

But you hate going back

This place ain’t the way I left it

Everything we had

Has gone so fast

This town ain’t like I remember

You love going back

But you hate going back

This place ain’t the way I left it

Everything we had

Has gone so fast
