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 boulevard 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 because 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 dirty gray
Especially when your world breaks down I know because I've been to town
