David Wilcox (Canadian) – Our Town

Billy cut his hair last night

The cops said he didn’t look right

For our town

We sell poultry, eggs and meat, but

Your kind don’t shop on this street

In our town

And it’s a funny thing

It’s always been that way

It’s never gonna change

I’d say

We’ll send money halfway around the world,

But don’t you go callin’ on the girls

In our town

The job is taken, apartment’s gone

Must’ve forgot to take the sign off the lawn

In our town

And it’s a funny thing

It’s always been that way

It’s never gonna change

I’d say

There ain’t nothin’ wrong with a pretty face

I hope all the girls know their place

In our town

Well, I don’t want you to misunderstand but

You can’t have a woman takin’ work from a man

In our town

And it’s a funny thing

It’s always been that way

It’s never gonna change

I’d say

Oh don’t judge a book by the cover

Never meant one thing or another

In our town

All the houses look the same

You see, tradition is the name of the game

In our town

Yes it is

And it’s a funny thing

It’s always been that way

It’s never gonna change

I’d say
