This Damn Town - Arlo McKinley Cover - HIVE Open Mic Week 46

Hi guys

This is my entry for this week's open mic - This Damn Town by Arlo McKinley and The Lonesome Sound.

I learned it a couple of days ago and I thought I would try playing it for you guys this week.I guess it does fit the theme's of forgiveness ,acceptance and moving on.

"This Damn Town"
Arlo McKinley

I don't know where to go
Don't know what I should see
So I left town
As soon as you left me

Tried to find myself
Down in Tennessee
But you got away
With the best of me

But now I do my best
And I'm barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin' every night

And now I do my best
And I’m barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin' every night

Thought I'd get by on my own
Thought I'd be what I want to be
Until you opened my eyes
And you made me see
I'll just play these chords
'til my time and money's gone
And I'll leave this world
With these simple songs

But now I do my best
And I’m barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin’ every night

I don't know where to go
Don't know what I should see
So I left town
As soon as you left me

Tried to find myself
Down in Tennessee
But you got away
With the best of me

And now I do my best
And I'm barely getting by
This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin’ every night

This damn town never sleeps
Keeps me runnin’ every night
