I've been to town

I've walked the highways and the harbors too

I've done some things I never thought I'd ever do

Now as I stand here looking down at you

You ask me how it is I frown

I guess that's cause I've been to town

I've been to town

Beyond the boulevards and down the beach

I've learned some things that only time can teach

For instance: Love is more than just a speech

It's got to find a common ground

I know, because I've been to town

Don't tell me any more lies

I can't waste any more years

I've seen my image in your eyes

Dissolve in disappointed tears

I've been to town

You ask me, do I know the Milky Way?

I do, and furthermore I'd like to say

It isn't milky-white, it's dingy-grey

Especially when your world breaks down

I know, because I've been to town
