This Town

Build me up and knock me down And write the words on the ground Put a smile on my face And take the weight off today Kick the man while he's down You'll get no tears from this clown If I'm smart then I'll see There's nothing left here for me In this town In this town A different name, a different place Disappear without a trace I live my life day to day I'll get a job to make the pay Find a place to call my home Santiago de Rio So where the streets are all so pretty Can you hear me New York City? I think I like this town In this town I'll stay a while in this town In this town I know I fooled myself Thinking that someone would rescue me I know I fooled myself I'm outta here, I'm outta here today I think I like this town In this town I'll stay a while in this town In this town A cold wind blows down the lane And someday I'll be back again
