lyrics

1.
I hear that some have been bad mouthing this town
Saying that being here brings them down
That there’s nothing to do and nowhere to go
But that shows how little they know

2.
This town has most of what anyone could need
It’s places to go and lots of people to see
It’s not a city but it’s a quaint country town
With loads of street corners for the kids to hang around

Chorus
So, I don’t understand why people say it’s so bad
It all happens here or so I have heard
They talk the town down and say it’s all a disgrace
But I know that it is not such a bad place
Not such a bad place for me.

3.
We’d a cinema here but it had to shut down
The rumour I’ve heard it’s going to open again
And if you have some time and want a few easy thrills
Then go flash the cash with the local girls

4
In this town, the police have nothing to do
Except to wage war with the local youths
But those in the know say you can make your mark
If you cross the right palm or you kiss the right arse

Chorus

M8
It’s my home town where you know where you stand
It’s my home town where you can make some big plans
It’s my home town where they’ll give you a chance
That’s why I’ll never leave, why would I want to leave.

5.
This town has most of what anyone could need
It’s places to go and lots of people to see
It’s not a city but it’s a quaint country town
With loads of street corners for the kids to hang around

6.
If you walk into a bar and some people might stare
They see a stranger and maybe they shouldn’t be there
If you make the wrong choices or say the wrong thing
Then those country boys may not be welcoming

Chorus
