Rough Town Lyrics

"Where you from?" he asks "Oh no, that city I always pass" He told me he heard it's so hard to last On a rising star, that seems to be sinking fast.

The bad news travels here so fast While the tales of the good never will reach the mass But I live here among the broken glass It's not what you see, it's how you will make it last

From the late light after all the day is gone When everybody leaves and the trouble comes along There's not quite a welcome sign aglow It's a rough town man, a rough town I know The sound bites of dying city noise Are a fraction of the action that no one here enjoys If you hold tight and you listen past the lows It's a rough town now, it's my rough town I know
"Hold your tongue, man" I say 'Cause it's easy to scoff and underestimate All the things you can't relate to Is the fabric I keep my memories sewn to

From the late light after all the day is gone When everybody leaves and the trouble comes along There's not quite a welcome sign aglow It's a rough town man, a rough town I know The sound bites of dying city noise Are a fraction of the action that no one here enjoys If you hold tight and you listen past the lows It's a rough town now, it's my rough town I know
