[Verse 1] In this town everybodys trying To get a piece of everybody else It gets hard to tell a real friend from a fake one So many promises, favors, and lies Most of the city wears a good disguise And even I too have been known to wear one [Verse 2] As the saying goes, its not who you know But its who you blow thatll put you in the show And if thats not the case, I hear you pay em But I dont come easy and Im flat broke So I guess its me who gets the joke Maybe Id be smarter if I played dumb [Chorus] I cant count all the times Ive been had Now I know much better than to let that make me mad I dont let none of that get me down From what Ive found, this town gets around [Verse 3] Well the very first manager I had He was old enough he could have been my dad He took me out for drinks and talked a big talk He said, Darling, sign on the dotted line Kiss my cheek and drink this wine But if you walk on me, then you can just walk [Chorus] I cant count all the times Ive been had Now I know much better than to let that make me mad I dont let none of that get me down From what Ive found, this town gets around [Outro] When I first came here the streets were paved with gold And you can walk that road, Ive been told But I wont put out or be controlled I dont write the shit that gets bought and sold Ask any man, he might know Who used to live on Music Row That was then and this is now And he told me this town gets around From what Ive found this town gets around
get, town, none, around, mad
