Tin Town - Seals & 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 Campton 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's been dead

Down where people lose their heads

In tin town has been town tin town has been town baby

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 living in my childhood schemes

Please mister you can make my dream

(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
