Talk Of The Town Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

I've been riding around with the top down 

Like I always do 

My love at my side, but only this time 

My friends say something's changed you 

They said you're running with the wrong set 

The girl is someone you should never have met 

Let her go on her own, son 

Everyone else has just come undone 

The old town fathers are up in arms 

The city council is very alarmed 

Cousins and uncles are having fits 

Predictors of doom think this is it 

Everybody else just stand around 

Me and my baby, we're the talk of the town 

The old statue there in the town square 

Seems to stare at me 

Walking around with my head down 

They say can't we make you see 

I said, Son, you know we're really color blind 

But everybody else seems to really mind 

Lose her now, I think you'll find 

Everyone else will just fall in line 

The chamber of commerce are up in arms 

The city council is very alarmed 

Cousins and uncles are having fits 

Predictors of doom think this is it 

Everyone else is just thinking out loud 

Me and my baby, we're the talk of the town 

Probably not the first but surely not the last 

Shouldn't throw stones out from your house of glass 

'Round here lots of crackers and cheese 

Stay away from those my daddy said to me 

You'll get in trouble if you mess with these 

Well, the old town fathers are up in arms 

The city council is very alarmed 

The cousins and uncles are having fits 

Predictors of doom think this is it 

Everybody else is just hanging around 

Me and my baby, we're the talk of the town
