This Town is a Woman Songtext
von Lori McKenna

She has a rough side where she buries all the scars
And the freedom of a child in the midnight dark
All the crooked roads will only lead you home
This town is a woman

The way you talk is partly her fault
From the back roads to the church parking lot
She knows where you go when you wanna be alone
This town is a woman

You memorized her every curve
She took you in, she gave you nerve
She whispered all those dreams in your ear
But if she can′t make those dreams come true
She knows you'll leave ′cause they always do
She'll wish you well and wait for you right here
'Cause this town is a woman


She can feel you there with her eyes closed
Like the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
She knows things about you nobody else knows
′Cause this town is a woman

You memorized her every curve
She took you in, she gave you nerve
She whispered all those dreams in your ear
But if she can′t make those dreams come true
She knows you'll leave ′cause they always do
So she'll wish you well and wait for you right here
′Cause this town is a woman

The way you curse every time she tries to change
And when you're not happy, you tell her she′s to blame
From the freeway down to the sugarcane
This town is a woman

This town is a woman (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This town (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This town
