This town
Oil and gas
And highways
That don't last
This town
Tears and grease
Freezing rain
In the crease
This town
Fast money and pain
Alcohol and dust
And little rain
This town
Got morals and you
And a wide sky so blue
And a river that's brown and long
That ain't a west coast song
Dirty sidewalks
Wild nature at the steps
Homelessness livi'n
In the forest depths
Patchwork of everyone
From everywhere
This damn town
It don't care
This town
Got morals and you
And a wide sky so blue
And a river that's brown and long
That ain't a west coast song
This town
Big and brown
Red letter day
Smoke and hay
Walk a coloured bridge
It'll tell you what you want
Luck's hanging round
Like a baptismal font
This town
Got morals and you
And a wide sky so blue
And a river that's brown and long
That ain't a west coast song
