New town reeks of lumber New town beat the crowds New town kittens discover That the birds scrape the ground And even the loneliest old ladies get social calls Where they dine and talk about their savior And the grassroots effort to incorporate Elects a smiling mayor [Verse 2] New town Americana New town rookie police New town industries are wanted for the local employees And a little bitty baby draws a nice clean breath From over his beaming momma's shoulder He's staring at the worldly wonders That stretch just as far as he can see But he'll stop staring when he's older [Chorus] Oh, new town New town New town [Bridge] And even the loneliest old ladies get social calls Where they dine and talk about their savior And the grassroots effort to incorporate Elects a smiling mayor
so good!
remember listening to this growing up in the car with my dad in the late 90s.
Cool Dad…
New town reeks of lumber
New town beat the crowds
New town kittens discover
That the birds scrape the ground
And even the loneliest old ladies get social calls
Where they dine and talk about their savior
And the grassroots effort to incorporate
Elects a smiling mayor
[Verse 2]
New town Americana
New town rookie police
New town industries are wanted for the local employees
And a little bitty baby draws a nice clean breath
From over his beaming momma's shoulder
He's staring at the worldly wonders
That stretch just as far as he can see
But he'll stop staring when he's older
[Chorus]
Oh, new town
New town
New town
[Bridge]
And even the loneliest old ladies get social calls
Where they dine and talk about their savior
And the grassroots effort to incorporate
Elects a smiling mayor
My first CD of Vic!
Mine too. Bought it in '96 when in college. On heavy rotation that school year.
Same! Unwanted (at the time) album of the month from Columbia House. So glad I didn't send it back.
Thanks
Am,C,G,Em,F .
5 chords.
Vic could do a lot with simple parts...
