This Town - Nancy Sinatra Lyrics - Lightning's Girl: Greatest Hits 1965-1971 - Nancy Sinatra

The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head 

Like burned-in long exposure pictures 

The wheels spin slowly backwards 

Strobing in the amber light 

And the rain comes down and washes my brain 

But it don't get clean 

This town has turned me into what I have become 

This town dresses me up like a stranger 

This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift 

This town takes us down 

I feel like I'm losing you to this town

We were saving our money for half of our lives 

We were saving our dreams 

And we came to this place to make the chances real in the big city 

But I've been counting the days I've been watching you change 

And I can feel it dying 

The noise outside takes you in it's arms like a lamb to a lion 

And down there somewhere among the noise 

The magazine dolls and the big money boys 

Move silently on their easy heels 

They move silently on their greasy wheels

This town has turned me into what I have become 

This town dresses you up like a stranger 

This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me I'm late 

This town takes us down, takes us down 

I feel like I'm losing you to this town 

The morning breaks and I watch you awake and this town takes you down away from me again
