This Old Town Lyrics & Chords By Cornmeal

This Old Town words and music by Chris Gangi


This old town ain’t meant for ramblin’
This old town has got me still
I pray to god I’ll find another
On my life I know I will

Once I spent my 40 days and nights under the desert’s gaze
Even I could find trouble all the while
Took too much to drinking and those lonely night left a-thinking
Even I could hear that desert wind sigh
I prayed to god to save my life

Chorus:

Once I knew a preacher man Preached the bible hand in hand
All that he knew had done been used
He left one night in the quiet town an old man lost and another found
Now there’s nothing left for him to loose
He prayed to god to help him choose

Chorus:

You know I had a girl one-night hold me sayin’ things were right
And took me to a place I’ve never been
She told me things I’d never heard about the way the world had turned
As I awoke to a full moon on the rise
I prayed to God to save my life
