Share This Town |
LyricsSHARE THIS TOWNMark Patterson Copyright 2024 Got a bottle of Crown and a map of the town And I'm thinking out loud what's fair How 'bout you take everything North of the light And I take everything South of there Then all that's left is for us to find out Which friends are going with who And I keep thinkin' 'bout how there ain't much doubt Who I'll be running into That old Sinatra song keeps playing And damn if the words aren't true I hear that voice on the wind keep saying I'll be seeing you How am I supposed to share this town with you When everyone we've ever cared about is right here too Our roots run too deep I know For either one of us to go It's no one's fault but it's not fair For me to have to see you everywhere These are still my stompin' grounds But it's my hometown too Tell me how am I supposed to share this town with you Something in these streets has shifted Look how far apart we've drifted This place is never gonna feel the same And seeing you day after day's gonna drive me insane We said Friday night was my night at the bar But then you strolled through that door You had a young thing on your arm Maybe just to twist the knife more It didn't take long for you to move on But that's something I didn't need to see Instead of holding my ground I should blow this town And award you full custody That old Sinatra song keeps playing And damn if the words aren't true I hear that voice on the wind keep saying I'll be seeing you How am I supposed to share this town with you When everyone we've ever cared about is right here too Our roots run too deep I know For either one of us to go It's no one's fault but it's not fair For me to have to see you everywhere These are still my stompin' grounds But it's my hometown too Tell me how am I supposed to share this town with you How am I supposed to share this town with you Tell me how am I supposed to share this town with you |
