I've Been to Town

I've been to town I've walked the highways and the harbors too I've done some things I never thought I'd ever do Now as I stand here looking down at you You ask me why it is I frown I guess it's 'cause I've been to town I've been to town Beyond the boulevards and down the beach I've learned some things that only time can teach For instance, love is more than just a speech It's got to find a common ground I know 'cause I've been to town Don't tell me any more lies I can't waste any more years I've seen my image in your eyes Dissolve in disappointed tears I've been to town You ask me do I know the Milky Way I do, and furthermore I'd like to say It isn't milky white, it's dingy gray Especially when your world breaks down I know because I've been to town
