New Town Lyrics - Phil Ochs

The road goes straight to the town I'm headed for 

Pretty cold town that I never seen before 

I've trouble on my mind hope this new town will be kind 

New people and a new job is what I need to find 

New town new town now don't you let me down 

I've travelled seven hundred miles 

To be where I am bound 

New town new town I'd like a chance to stay 

Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way 

My life isn't easy as I hear the new town call 

You're headin for a future or you're ridin for a fall 

And all through the day I can hear the old town say 

You can't beat your troubles if you run the other way 

New town new town now don't you let me down 

I've travelled seven hundred miles 

To be where I am bound 

New town new town I'd like a chance to stay 

Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way 

Time is dragging as the road stretches on 

And while the wheels are turning 

My past is further on 

And as the trees are going by I wonder what I'll do 

And why I left the old town to gamble with a new 

New town new town now don't you let me down 

I've travelled seven hundred miles 

To be where I am bound 

New town new town I'd like a chance to stay 

Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way 

New town new town now don't you let me down 

I've travelled seven hundred miles 

To be where I am bound 

New town new town I'd like a chance to stay 

Leave behind the old town and live a brand new way
