In a Little Spanish Town (Was a Night Like This)

歌詞

The highway running serpentine through canebrake and maple Reluctantly relinquishing to hardwood and pine The towns fly by and disappear a sameness grown tenacious Enduring faithful year after year Any boy who’s got a past can disappear And never cast a shadow In a town like this everybody knows In a town like this everybody knows Girl child born in ’82, raised inside a fog of wealth Nurtured by the Ozark Nazarenes Silent and serene drifting in a dream The promise of a future Any boy who’s lookin to get lost just might be found In a town like this everybody knows In a town like this everybody knows The woods conceal with screens of green so fine The mountain now invisable to the naked eye And in the rhythm of a mountain night A melody surrenders And falls down to earth a beautiful surprise Any boy can come to town look around settle down In a town like this everybody knows It’s a cryin’ shame
