A Pretty Good Town Lyrics

A Pretty Good Town

That last summer you came back we

Walked the tracks from your father's place

To the lock and lake

Where we talked in the wake

Of the changes we faced

That would take you away

We did not know then it would be the

Last time we walked together as friends

We became strangers after that

Last summer you came back.

It's a pretty good town

A little run down here and there

But I swear it gets better

Better with you around

Better with you around

It's a pretty good town

Saw your brother's old dealer, he was

Dressed like Santa Clause

Selling tickets at the mall

He's been clean for years, drives cab

Volunteers with the Red Cross

Your brother's old dealer, he said

He thought we'd get married, well, you and I

He was surprised when I told him

I'd not seen you since

That summer you said goodbye

Goodbye

It's a pretty good town

A little run down here and there

But I swear it gets better

Better with you around

Better with you around

It's a pretty good town

We did not notice it was dark

We were waiting for the starting bell

Life came at us like an archer

We took it in the heart

Each one thinking they're the only one

So, let us go like this could be

The last time we are together, my friend

Life can get strange awfully fast

Like that summer you came back

The summer you came back

Last summer you came back

It's a pretty good town

A little rundown here and there

But I swear it gets better

Better with you around

Better with you around

It's a pretty good town
