Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Burnt Out Town Lyrics



Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Burnt Out Town Lyrics
Official




Yeah, uh-huh
I was walking down the street the other day
A woman stopped me
She said, why is it you look so down in the mouth?
And I told her

This is a burnt out town
It's full of dirty looks
The ashes are mainstream
And the mayor is cooking the books

I even like those friends
I turn them into crooks

Yeah this is the burnt out town
You wear the same clothes
They dancing on the glass ceilings
While the filthy money flows

Yes and here I am, stealing gas
With a garden hose

Yeah, take that, honey!

This is the burnt out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
The truth indecent when exposed

Yeah, it's the burnt out town
It's going down but no one knows
Yeah, it's the burnt out town
Ain't there but getting close, aw
