New To This Town Lyrics - Joe Walsh

I was sittin' at the cafe for a bite 

And couldn't help but overhear this guy 

He just pulled up in a U-Haul truck 

Tell Becky how pumped he was 

'Bout movin' here for his new job 

And what a cool little spot it was 

It kinda made me jealous, it made me mad 

Wish I could see this place like that 

Yeah, I wish I was new to this town 

Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out 

For the first time, wish I could go anywhere 

And not be afraid of finding you there 

Yeah, girl, when I see you around 

I wish I was new to this town 

I can't put my feet on this sidewalk 

Without hearing you laugh, and hearing you talk 

And every street's a memory 

Of just how good it used to be 

I can't walk into the corner bar 

Without asking how you are 

And how you're doing, and how you've been 

I gotta go through it all again 

I wish I was new to this town 

Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out 

For the first time, wish I could go anywhere 

And not be afraid of finding you there 

Yeah, girl, when I see you around 

I wish I was new to this town 

I wonder what it feels like to hop in my truck 

Not think about us, just go for a ride 

And stop at that stoplight, not think about you 

Sittin' here by my side 

Yeah, I wish I was new to this town 

Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out 

For the first time, wish I could go anywhere 

And not be afraid of finding you there 

Yeah, girl, when I see you around 

And I feel the way that I do now 

Oh, I wish I was new to this town 

I wish I was new to this town, oh, yeah 

I wish I was new to this town 

Oh, yeah
