My Town Now
© Holly Butler/Susan Anders

See that hot dog stand that’s where we met
When I passed through last summer heading back west
On this park bench he gave me a ring
That bus stops where I came back with all of my things

We moved fast, loved strong
I’m still here but he’s long gone

It’s my town now
I know it like the back of his hand waving bye bye
My town now
Like it or not I landed in a new life
It’s my town now

I came to this bar to cry for three straight weeks
Then I started circling want ads and hitting the streets
Learned my way around and somehow got by
Now I come to this bar to dance every Friday night

I held fast, got strong
I’m still here and he’s long gone

It’s my town now
I know it by the people who smile when I walk by
My town now
I got myself a job and a dog and I’m alright
It’s my town now

Just last week I got a call from him
He misses me and he’s moving back again
I said whatever, baby
Maybe I’ll see you around

It’s my town now
I know it like the back of my hand waving bye bye
My town now
Got to go, got to meet somebody on the east side
My town now
Ain’t it funny how I’m loving this place and it’s all mine
It’s my town now
My town now
