This Town Lyrics

Back before when this town

Didn't have three story buildings

Cowboys skied down these hills

To kill time in the winter

Just to see who could get closest

To warm springs

There was a Conoco pump station

And a few saloons

Off menu dessert items

Get you a toot

And the streets were tumble weeded

And the herd moved around

Back before in this town

Back before in this town

People didn't know consequences

Yeah, there was a sherif

But he partied with us

Gave us rides home

But I'm sure he wasn't better off

And I was in the alley

Hanging with bad habits

Smokin and a toking

With some boys out Challis

Talking about how the universe

Is about to go down

Back before in this town

And your mother wasn't exactly

A formative figure

She was always wearing boots and dukes

We all wanted to know her

I was quite shy

But I thought I was playing it cool

And you were just a glistening

Light in the sky

Shining from behind a mountain top

Just to remind

We would grow old just watching you roll

Round the town

Back before in this town

And the hopes that dreams

That we spoke of

All seemed to coincide

With no knowledge of getting older

Yeah, just this little idea

That one day we'd be settling down

Back before in this town
