I've been to townnI've walked the highways and the harbors toonI've done some things I never thought I'd ever donNow as I stand here looking down at younYou ask me how it is I frownnI guess that's cause I've been to townnnI've been to townnBeyond the boulevards and down the beachnI've learned some things that only time can teachnFor instance: Love is more than just a speechnIt's got to find a common groundnI know, because I've been to townnnDon't tell me any more liesnI can't waste any more yearsnI've seen my image in your eyesnDissolve in disappointed tearsnnI've been to townnYou ask me, do I know the Milky Way?nI do, and furthermore I'd like to saynIt isn't milky-white, it's dingy-greynEspecially when your world breaks downnI know, because I've been to town
