TOO GOOD FOR THIS TOWN #countrymusic

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watched you walk in like a summer rain
Fresh outta heaven, untouched by pain
You light up the dark like a bonfire flame
While I’m just a shadow with a broken name

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you love the way I move through the fire
But baby, I'm all just smoke and barbed wire

[Chorus]
You’re too good for this town, too pure for these nights
I’m whiskey-stained hands and barroom fights
I’d drag you down, like a stone in a stream
And I’d never forgive me for killing your dreams
So don’t waste your wings on a lost cause like me
You’re too good for this town, babe, too good for me.

[Verse 2]
You talk 'bout forever like it’s carved in stone
I’m more the type to burn bridges on the phone
You want a home with that white-picket view
All I’ve ever built are walls I'm not worth the pursuit

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the stars when you say my name
But I’m just a storm you can’t ever tame

[Chorus]
You’re too good for this town, too bright for these bars
I’m a runaway train and rusted-out scars
I’d break your heart like it ain’t worth a dime
And I couldn’t stand to see you waste your time
So don’t bet your light on a gamble like me
You’re too good for this town, babe, too good for me.

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll learn how to change
But you deserve more than waiting on pain
So drive away fast with the wind at your back
Don’t let me be the weight that pulls you off of your tracks

[Final Chorus]
You’re too good for this town, too kind for my sins
I’m a losing game that no angel wins
I’d hold you tight, but it'd never be right
‘Cause I know I’d steal your shine just to warm my night
So don't wear your halo in hell just for me
You’re too good for this town, babe, too good for me...


Too good for this town, babe, be free.
