Sound of this Town

This hot day is almost into sundown

The wind sends its own goodbye

I don’t know why

I’m smiling in spite of all this running ‘round

Guess it’s because I like the sound of this town

Well the river separates the memories

And the wheat dances for harvest moon

And it’s too soon to understand if I’ll even be around

But you know I like the sound of this town

Well the children laugh so free and easy

With the lemonade for only half a dollar

And the collar on the local preacher man

Is white against the farmer tan so brown

Lord knows I love the sound of this town

When the moon melts into the morning

Gather all you would like for the road

And the load is lonely and you hear the rooster crow

At the edge of town

Don’t cry you'll ruin the sound of this town

Don’t cry your lonely sound of this town
