I Know This Town 
Words And Music By: 
Cheryl Wheeler 


Well, I know these streets and these backyards 
This barn that's fallin' down 
We come to where they're building now 
And ride our bikes around. 

You think I'm just a little kid 
Some trouble on the way 
Well I knew that place before you did 
Is all I've got to say. 

(Chorus) 
I'm only walkin' through these streets and all around 
I'm only walkin' I know this town 

We come home through these fields at night 
About a million times 
I walk the road with my eyes closed 
And all the paths beside. 

And I know the boy who broke this fence 
I know his brothers too 
And they'd never give me half a chance 
If I let on to you. 

(Repeat Chorus) 

We dam the streams we raid the shacks 
And hide in box cars on the tracks 
We know these quarries in our sleep 
And where they're cold and where they're deep 

I'll go down to the bowling alley 
Buy smokes and dentyne 
I find some loose change every day 
Under that coke machine 

(Repeat Chorus) 

You check me out when you drive by 
Like there was some big deal 
I know so much you'll never find 
From there behind your wheel 

(Repeat Chorus)
