In A Town Like This Letra

And before you know it slip through the cracks

And get taken as facts

She's been with one man now (going) on year 14

It's the devil you know, versus a life unseen

She may talk tough, but she laughs clean

And pure as a dance, but given half a chance

I'd kiss her neck sitting on the dunes

Hear the wind in her hair play its lonely tune

If I could do it all now it couldn't be too soon

For me to look her in the eye

And say I'm not gonna make any demands

I want you to take a place in my plans

Your ways, I can't say I'd understand

But I can promise that I'll try



This could all come to naught

Still I feel it's been worth the thought

'Cause hope can't be sold or bought

Like a shoe or an old guitar

Thoughts like days and years fly by

I may forget how she caught my eye

Still she made me whole for a little while

And that's more than some can say

I first met her in the sticks

She had mischief in her working its tricks

When I saw her I heard Hendrix
