Someone In This Town Lyrics

I stayed home when all my friends began to roam

You could say that I'm someone in this town

I married well, they rang the wedding bells

And I took off Mary's wedding gown

You went away after the senior high school play

With a boy who'd hardly even been around

You were a will-o-the-wisp, you gave us all the slip

Even your momma said you disappeared without a sound

The world it spins around and back again

I keep it quiet but I think of you back then

When the skies were so blue And everything was true

And loving you was not a sin

Mary and our daughter we went down to the quarter

Turned a corner and there you stood

I felt Mary's tug, but even so we hugged

And my memories came back in a flood

Now every day I see you footloose and fancy-free

And I feel my soul turn around

What is it in a man that he can't follow his own plan

That he'll blindly run his own ship aground

The world it spins around and back again

I keep it quiet but I think of you back then

When the skies were so blue And everything was true

And loving you was not a sin

You don't have to know where this old story goes

Cause things that go down just go down

A hurricane in a pail, a train off the rails

Well, you could say I'm someone in this town

The world it spins around and back again

I keep it quiet but I think of you back then

When the skies were so blue And everything was true

And loving you was not a sin

When the skies were so blue And everything was true

And loving you was not a sin
