Rough Town Lyrics - Singles - Bronze Radio Return

"Where you from?" he asks 

"Oh no, that city I always pass" 

He told me he heard it's so hard to last 

On a rising star, that seems to be sinking fast. 

The bad news travels here so fast 

While the tales of the good never will reach the mass 

But I live here among the broken glass 

It's not what you see, it's how you will make it last 

[Chorus:] 

From the late light after all the day is gone 

When everybody leaves and the trouble comes along 

There's not quite a welcome sign aglow 

It's a rough town man, a rough town I know 

The sound bites of dying city noise 

Are a fraction of the action that no one here enjoys 

If you hold tight and you listen past the lows 

It's a rough town now, it's my rough town I know 

"Hold your tongue, man" I say 

'Cause it's easy to scoff and underestimate 

All the things you can't relate to 

Is the fabric I keep my memories sewn to
