I've Been To Town

I've been to town

I've walked the highways and the harbors too

I've done some things I never thought I'd ever do

Now as I stand here looking down at you

You ask me why it is I frown

I guess it's 'cause I've been to town

I've been to town

Beyond the boulevards and down the beach

I've learned some things that only time can teach

For instance, love is more than just a speech

It's got to find a common ground

I know 'cause I've been to town

Don't tell me any more lies

I can't waste any more years

I've seen my image in your eyes

Dissolve in disappointed tears

I've been to town

You ask me do I know the Milky Way

I do, and furthermore I'd like to say

It isn't milky white, it's dingy gray

Especially when your world breaks down

I know because I've been to town
