Lyrics
My Town (male)
(verse 1)
You know she was the prettiest girl in my town
Her hair decorated with colored bows
Graceful long blond curls hanging down
Sally Malone my mountain rose
(Verse 2)
I remember the night long time ago
To me It seems like yesterday
That our lips did meet on oak tree road
There she carried my heart away
(Chorus 1)
Happy days in MyTown
She lifted my love to light
And turned my inside up-side-down
It?s been so long but she?s still way down inside
Yeah she turned my inside up-side-down
Happy days in My Town
(Verse 3)
I still find my heart under that mighty oak
But our love was too young those days
Our mutual dreams all turned to smoke
We went on, each our separate ways
(verse 4)
And now I see the procession comin? down
They?re about to bury Sally Malone
Her life was taken just outside of town
She had to die there all alone
(Chorus 2)
Sad sad days in MyTown
She lifted my love to light
And turned my inside up-side-down
It?s been so long but she?s still way down inside
Yeah she turned my inside up-side-down
Sad sad days in My Town
(Bridge)
And now there?s a fresh grave waiting
Under an oak tree around the bend
A single grave without a wedding ring
But a place where true love doesn?t end
(Repeat Chorus )
(Fade)
Yeah she turned my inside up-side-down
Sad sad days in MyTown
