In A Town Like This Songtext

It's the devil you know, versus a life unseen

She may talk tough, but she laughs clean

And pure as a dance, but given half a chance

I'd kiss her neck sitting on the dunes

Hear the wind in her hair play its lonely tune

If I could do it all now it couldn't be too soon

For me to look her in the eye

And say I'm not gonna make any demands

I want you to take a place in my plans

Your ways, I can't say I'd understand
But I can promise that I'll try



This could all come to naught

Still I feel it's been worth the thought

'Cause hope can't be sold or bought

Like a shoe or an old guitar

Thoughts like days and years fly by

I may forget how she caught my eye

Still she made me whole for a little while

And that's more than some can say

I first met her in the sticks

She had mischief in her working its tricks

When I saw her I heard Hendrix
