this old town

i don't know what i'd find, if i could only see, wouldn't ever let no secret, bleed me dry by the bit of me, it's a good job you don't count on me, 'cause you never see the change i see, i never could keep no secret, break a promise and you're free, this old town won't let you go, scratch your feelings in your soul, but there's no turning back, just forward now, these haunted halls bring melodies, so sweet and tender, all life needs, i could forgive it, everything is true, just take a look or two, it doesn't seem so long ago, i heard somebody sing, through a dirty basement window, drinking down bloody bottle green, now i just wanna get on through, i've never quite been able to, couldn't ever find a secret, maybe i've got the one i need, this old town won't let you go, scratch your feelings in your soul, but there's no turning back, just forward now, i been waiting a long long time, to shoot this queue and get out of line, like a secret in blue jeans, to see if i can find my my my mind, this old town won't let you go, scratch your feelings in your soul, but there's no turning back, just forward now
