I Know This Town

I know these streets and these backyards

This barn that's falling down

We come to where they're buildin' now

And ride our bikes aroundYou think I'm just a little kid

Some trouble's on the way

But I knew this place before you did

Is all I've got to sayI'm only walkin'

Through these streets and all around

I'm only walkin'

I know this townWe come home through these fields at night

About a million times

I'd walk the road with my eyes closed

And all the paths besidesAnd I know the boy who broke this fence

And I know his brother, too

And they'd never give me half a chance

If I let on to youI'm only walkin'

Through these streets and all around

I'm only walkin'

I know this town

I know this townI know

I know

I knowWe dam the streams, we raid the shacks

And hide in boxcars on the tracks

We know these quarries in our sleep

And where they're cold and where they're deepI know

I know

I knowI'll go down to the bowling alley

And buy smokes and dentyne

I find some loose change every day

Under that coke machineYou check me out as you drive by

Like there was some big deal

But I know so much you'll never find

From there behind the wheel

(Behind the wheel)I'm only walkin'

Through these streets and all around

I'm only walkin'

I know this townI know this town

I know this town

I know this town
