Tourist Town Lyrics

All the men come here to conquer

All the ladies come to strut

Yeah I just happen to live here

But I don't quite make the cut

I don't have any investments

I don't wear expensive hats

All my tattoos missed the trend curve

And I don't have any plans

It's the obscene cost of living

It's the lack of common sense

It's entitlement in spirit

It's the shallow and the dense

And I don't think you could hear me

If I tried to talk you down

I guess that's just life in a tourist town

A tourist town, tourist town

I'm not post modern or rustic

I don't own a second home

I just happen to be from here

Just outdated and unknown

Still I know the guy who farmed there

Where you built that retail box

And I miss the ones who moved out

When their lives all hit the rocks

It's the obscene cost of living

It's the lack of common sense

It's entitlement in spirit

It's the shallow and the dense

And I don't think you could hear me

If I tried to talk you down

I guess that's just life in a tourist town

A tourist town, tourist town, tourist town

That's just life in a tourist town
