Tin Town Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

Have you been down to Tin Town 

Where dreams in cans once were drowned? 

A snag somewhere in someone's life 

Caught him there, pulled him to strife 

A bottle here, and there are left 

Many broken, the air is deaf 

With non-understanding vows 

Remember tears upon their brows 

In Tin Town, has-been town 

Tin Town, has-been town 

A tiny flag upon a mast 

Where camp-town children played in past 

A river winding through the trees 

Banks eroded, extreme degrees 

Once a place to be baptized 

When pentecostal need arise 

A shank or two with rotted plank 

A fish or two, their eyes are blank 

In Tin Town, has-been town 

Tin Town, has-been town 

Well, I been down to Tin Town 

Where once a boy I did fall down 

And cut my arm on piled up junk 

I wrapped it up and I hailed a drunk 

He carried me three miles to home 

Where daddy said I was cut to the bone 

The doctor washed his hands and said 

Five more minutes, the boy'd been dead 

Down where people lose their heads 

In Tin Town, has-been town 

Tin Town, has-been town, I know you well 

Well, I live here in Tin Town 

Not many people come around 

When when they do I smile at them 

And say, hello, it's a mighty hot day 

Can you spare a man a dime? 

I got thirty cents and I can buy some wine 

I'm livin' in my childhood schemes 

Please, mister, you can make my dreams 

(You can make my dreams) 

In Tin Town, has-been town 

Tin Town, has-been town 

It's my home, it's my home 

It's my home, it's my home
