My Town Lyrics - Singles - Patty Smyth

I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge 

The new graffiti says that life's a bitch 

And now I hear this bridge is falling down 

Someone will steal it 'fore it hits the ground 

Now I wanna go out walking in my own neighborhood 

Where I was just a little girl and life was good 

But the boys are on the corner, gonna fuck with me 

I'm gonna keep on walking, they don't see 

This is my town 

I was born and raised 

On these streets 

This is my town, oh yeah 

Oh yeah, my town 

Too many people are on the street tonight 

It's way too hot, someone's looking for a fight 

What a mess of faces in an endless sea 

I'm getting tired of all this energy 

And I guess, I could just pick it up and move outside of town 

And listen to the crickets when the sun goes down 

But then we couldn't hear them playing down at S.O.B.s 

Where my friend Lincoln can get us in for free 

And this is my town 

I grew up too fast 

On these streets 

Hey, this is my town, oh yeah 

Hey, yeah, yeah 

This is my town, oh yeah 

And tonight the rain is falling 

Falling down 

The lights outside keep changing 

Without a sound, oh yeah 

Now let's just take a train down into Chinatown 

Past the house of candles, you know they burned it down 

Tomorrow is the Puerto Rican Day Parade 

They'll be dancing in the streets, come to carry me away 

And this is my town 

I was born and raised 

On these streets 

This is my town 

I'm walking down 

These mean streets 

It's a big, bad town 

This is my town 

Hey yeah, yeah, this is my 

Oh, my town 

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
