This Town is a Woman - Lori McKenna, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman

She has a rough side where she buries all the scars

And the freedom of a child in the midnight dark

All the crooked roads will only lead you home

This town is a woman

The way you talk is partly her fault

From the back roads to the church parking lot

She knows where you go when you wanna be alone

This town is a woman

You memorized her every curve

She took you in, she gave you nerve

She whispered all those dreams in your ear

But if she can’t make those dreams come true

She knows you’ll leave 'cause they always do

She’ll wish you well and wait for you right here

'Cause this town is a woman

She can feel you there with her eyes closed

Like the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

She knows things about you nobody else knows

'Cause this town is a woman

You memorized her every curve

She took you in, she gave you nerve

She whispered all those dreams in your ear

But if she can’t make those dreams come true

She knows you’ll leave 'cause they always do

So she’ll wish you well and wait for you right here

'Cause this town is a woman

The way you curse every time she tries to change

And when you’re not happy, you tell her she’s to blame

From the freeway down to the sugarcane

This town is a woman

This town is a woman

This town

This town
