Joanna Field - I Know This Town

Well, I know these streets and these backyards
This barn that's falling down
We come to where they're building now
And ride our bikes around

You think I'm just a little kid
Some trouble's on the way
Well, I knew this place before you did
Is all I've got to say

I'm only walking
Through these streets and all around
I'm only walking
I know this town

We come home through these fields at night
About a million times
I'd walk the road with my eyes closed
And all the paths besides

I know the boy who broke this fence
And I know his brother too
They'd never give me half a chance
If I let on to you

I'm only walking
Through these streets and all around
I'm only walking
I know this town

I know this town

(I know it)
(I know it)
(I know it)

We dam the streams and raid the shacks
And hide in boxcars on the tracks
We know these quarries in our sleep
And where they're cold and where they're deep

(I know it)
(I know it)
(I know it)

I'll go down to the bowling alley
Buy smokes and Dentyne
I find some loose change every day
Under the Coke machine

You check me out as you drive by
Like there was some big deal
Well, I know so much you'll never find
From there behind the wheel

I'm only walking
Through these streets and all around
I'm only walking
I know this town

I know this town
I know this town
I know this town
