something about this town

back in the fields they painted gold

where every breath just feels like home

the people may have changed

to me it's still the same

walking the streets that made this man

talking the tongue that i once had

so clear

i guess history writes itself here

forget all the bright lights

the towering skylines

there's something about this town

where heaven is closer

the weight off my shoulders

there's something about this town

and i can't change what i am made of now

i guess there's something about this town

the faces are lost at old john bull's

i guess the sands of time are cruel

somebody calls my name

wish i could do the same

lights of the grand hotel's gone dark

but stars seem to shine with a different spark

so clear

i guess history writes itself here

forget all the bright lights

the towering skylines

there's something about this town

where heaven is closer

the weight off my shoulders

there's something about this town

so people say that i have made it now

i guess there's something about this town

i dream of colours that are evergreen

oh

whenever i'm southbound

so please forgive sentimentality

oh

there's something about this town

so forget all the bright lights

the towering skylines

there's something about this town

where heaven is closer

the weight off my shoulders

there's something about this town

and i can't change what i am made of now

i guess there's something about this town
