Talk of the Town Lyrics


There's this guy in this place and he looks me in the face
And he tells me 'bout this girl that took him home
And there's this girl and she says that she's never been with him
And she tells me things that I don't wanna know
There's a warning inside going off in my mind
You won't get me this time to forget about it
I know there's better things to talk about
And I believe that you're looking for so mis-romance
And I say that you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout
Well I can see so just pass is on to someone else
And say "It's just the talk of the town"
Week goes by and I ran into the guy
And he says that he heard I was with his girl
Well I carefully replanned, I'll quickly wink and smile
I don't wanna involved in drama world
There's a warning inside going off in my mind
You won't get me this time to forget about it
I know there's better things to talk about

And I believe that you're looking for so mis-romance
And I say that you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout
Well I can see so just pass is on to someone else
And say "It's just the talk of the town"
Did you hear what he said she said?
Did you hear what they said we said?
I don't wanna know, don't tell me
I don't really care what they say
I don't wanna know, what they say?
I don't really care, don't tell me
I know there's better things to talk about
And I believe that you're looking for so mis-romance
And I say that you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout
Well I can see so just pass is on to someone else
And say "It's just the talk of the town"
I know there's better things to talk about
And I believe that you're looking for so mis-romance
And I say that you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout
Well I can see so just pass is on to someone else
And say "It's just the talk of the town"

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
