You said goodbye to the old crowd Packed your life on a greyhound Wound up in this town And there's something about the feel Of your last twenty dollar bill That lets you know you'll be here for a while You're holding on To a dream that you doubt and you're holding fast You're letting go Of a doubt that might remind you that you might not last Are you gonna last? 'cause at home no one ever put you down Not in this town And at home you were feeling so unclear How do you feel here? 'cause you're looking so confused And feeling so bizarre They don't know what to say They don't know who you are in this town No, not in this town Not in this town No, not in this town She lights up union square Pushing through the turnstile This is her town And there's something about the way She climbs the subway stairs That lets you know she's been here for a while You watch her go As she catches your eye you think she might be the one She might be good Give you everything you needed to turn you around And she might pick you up from off the ground Feeling lost in this town And she stops and you feel you're not alone Come here and lead me home But you're feeling so confused And looking so bizarre She don't know what to say She don't know who you are in this town No, not in this town Not in this town No, not in this town 'cause at home no one ever put you down Not in this town But at home you were feeling so unclear How do you feel here? Those hopes have turned to fears You wonder where you are Without a little light You know you won't go far in this town No, not in this town Not in this town No, not in this town Not in this town No, not in this town Not in this town No, not in this town Not in this town Not in this town
