MY KINDA TOWN
© & (p) 1994 Bunj Jam Music-BMI

I never thought I'd walk in nice pants
I never thought I'd care for romance
I never thought I'd be getting my car insured
Because some kid might come by and put a dent in the fender

I never dreamed I'd stop dreaming
I never thought I'd stop believing
I never dreamed I'd be spending
To fend off some kid
Offending my pretty pretty fender

My kind of town is a ghost town...Ooo
Ghosts hanging 'round and scaring each other...Oooo
No nice pants
No cars
No way
And no one cares or thinks about the living days
That's my kind of town

I never thought I'd wear a silk tie
My eyes are bugging out like when bugs die

I never dreamed I'd be dreaming about older dreams
while my eyes are descending on a tailor knit seam

I never thought I'd be this crazy
I never thought I'd be so absolutely nuts
I never thought I'd be loosing
Every bit of guts I gained in between
A baby being weaned and a dirty mouthy teen

My kind of town is a ghost town...Ooo
Ghosts hanging 'round and scaring each other...Oooo
No silk ties
No tailored seams
No way
And no one cares or thinks about
The living days
That's my kind of town

I always thought it'd be more thrilling
A lot of talking and a lot of telling
Not a bunch of never-beens
Digging out on Donovan
And killing to be like Dylan

I never thought I would be so waxed up
So squeaky clean, I'd never show up
When a photo's being taken there's always too much light
And it burns fake figure's on the film now

My kind of town is a ghost town...Ooo
Ghosts hanging 'round and scaring each other...Oooo
No lost souls
They’ll always be found
Just dusty roads
That are freedom bound

That’s my kinda town
I never thought I’d wear a silk tie
The only way to live a living lie down
Is to found
My kinda town
