You may toggle the sound off and on and also pause it.
This song is undergoing a significant re-write. This is the original version but you might wait and check later. The proposed lyric re-write is below this one. Will do a new recording soon.
"THIS OLD TOWN"
(copr)2007 Bill Pittman
In my town, like many towns, there wasn't much to do
Just ride around and back again and look for Peggy Sue
But now I know she wasn't here, she 'as in a neighbor town
Lookin' for their Billy Bob but he'd be lookin' too
In this old town
At least, we had somewhere to go, we'd ride up to the lake
And if someone was parking there, we'd have to kill their date
Cut some donuts 'round their car and scare 'em half to death
But it was harmless fun, you'd learn don't park up at the lake
In this old town
[ CHORUS: ]
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Up and down Main Street of this old town
Same old same, nothin' changed in this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
The rodeo called Billy Bob, the stage called Peggy Sue
The Lord called crazy Larry Wayne, now, that just cannot do
My neighbor, Nancy Jean moved off and so did Thomas Ray
And Linda Faye and Brenda Kay and lovely Linda Lou
From this old town
I don't know what kids do now, the cops are everywhere
The sheriff must be rich, I only hope he treats 'em fair
There's hidden cameras in the trees to archive night and day
How can a kid just be a kid and burn his tires bare
In this old town
[ CHORUS #2: ] ( 2x )
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Up and down Main Street of this old town
It's not the same, something's changed in this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town= = = = =

"THIS OLD TOWN"
(copr)2007 Bill Pittman
In my town, like many towns, there wasn't much to do
Just ride around and back again and look for Peggy Sue
But now I know she wasn't here, she was in a neighbor town
Lookin' for their Billy Bob but he'd be over here, too
In this old town
[CHORUS:]
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Up and down Main Street of this old town
Same old same, nothin' changed in this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
I don't know how many times we'd loop up by the lake
The gas was cheap and this old town meant cruisin' was our fate
And sometimes, rookies parked there and we'd scare 'em half to death
We'd cut donuts 'round their car, they'd learn don't park up at the lake
In this old town
[ CHORUS - REPEAT ]
[ BRIDGE: ]
The rodeo called Billy Bob, the stage called Peggy Sue
The Lord called crazy Larry Wayne, now, that just cannot do
The town that never changed has changed, mostly battered down
In lots o' ways, it's like a ghost town
It sure seems like overkill, the cops are everywhere
The sheriff must be rich, I only hope he treats kids fair
I hear there's cameras in the trees to watch 'em night and day
But a kid must be a kid, they gotta burn their tires bare
In this old town
[ CHORUS #3: ]
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Up and down Main Street of this old town
It's not the same, alot has changed in this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
Ridin' 'round, up and down this old town
