from "You Can't Fight Fashion", 1983, EMI Records Group





This old town's been home long as I remember

this town's gonna be here long after I'm gone

East side, West side--give up, or surrender

--been down,

but I still rock on...



(CHORUS:)

Oh, and this town

is my town--alright?

Love or hate it--it don't matter

'cause I'm gonna stand and fight

This town--is my town

she's got her ups and downs

but love or hate it--it don't matter

'cause this is my town



This old town is where I learned about lovin'

this old town is where I learned to hate

This town, buddy, has done its share of shovin'

This town taught me

that it's never too late



(CHORUS TWICE)



This is MY TOWN

This is MY TOWN

This is MY TOWN...
