Lyrics
Tough Town They’re stackin’ broken hearts Down a dead end street Stick one in your chest Stagger to your feet Welcome to Tough Town (2x) It’s perched at the edge Of a deep dark hole Kind that’s just waitin’ To swallow you whole Welcome to Tough Town (2x) Ain’t the kind of place That you set out to find Less a destination More a state of mind Last stop on the train Before the end of the line Where you’re bound to end up When love robs you blind Welcome to Tough Town (2x) (bridge) It’s got a school of hard knocks And a heartbreak hotel Where a river of tears Fills up the wishing well Bars on every corner Knock you down with the smell Of cigarettes, whiskey and losers straight from hell Welcome to Tough Town solo Pushed back the jungle Stripped the trees down Poured hot asphalt On sacred burial ground Welcome to Tough Town (2x) Natives get restless Same time everyday They build a big bonfire To keep their demons at bay Welcome to Tough Town (2x) You hear the tribal drums poundin’ And you head does too Someone’s stepping on your grave And a chill runs through you Dancin’ round the flames Crazy sparks go flyin’ Everybody’s laughin’ Just to keep from cryin’ Right here in Tough Town (2x) (Bridge Repeat) Welcome to Tough Town (4x)
