Livin' it up downtown, your tongue a little loose
Tales of love and conquest you can't lose
The guy behind the counter shakes his head at you
He's seen a lot of lucky faces go from red to blue
Jim rolls in with the good news like he's so good at doin'
Making wine out of water, whistlin' a tune
You were too filled up to hear the song
Your cup was runnin' over, you should'a been runnin' home
A town talks
Will you listen? Are you wise enough to know where to put your ears?
Love walks
If you're not watching, you'll end up alone with all your talkin' tears
You framed your dreams together over all these years
Smiling pictures in the hallway up above the stairs
The shadows in the corner make it painfully clear
She don't need your understanding, she just wants you here
A town talks
Will you listen? Are you wise enough to know where to put your ears?
Love walks
If you're not watching, you'll end up alone with all your talkin' tears...
Tears...
Livin' it up downtown, your tongue a little loose
For all I hear you sayin', what's it say about you?
A town talks, a town talks
A town talks, a town talks
A town talks, a town talks
