Lyrics
0:14In this town everybody's trying to get a piece of everybody else
0:18It gets hard to tell a real friend from a fake one
0:24So many promises favors and lies
0:26Most of the town wears a good disguise
0:29And even I too have been known to wear one
0:34As the saying goes it's not who you know
0:36But it's who you blow that'll get you in the show
0:39And if that's not the case I hear you pay 'em
0:44But I don't come easy and I'm flat broke
0:47So I guess it's me who gets the joke
0:50Maybe I'd be smarter if I played dumb
0:55I can't count all the times I've been had
1:00Now I know much better than to let that make me mad
1:06I don't let none of that get me down
1:10From what I've found this town gets around
1:15Now the very first manager I ever had
1:18He was old enough he could have been my dad
1:20He took me out for drinks and talked a big talk
1:25He said darling sign on the dotted line
1:28You know kiss my cheek and drink this wine
1:31But if you walk on me then you can just walk
1:36I can't count all the times I've been had
1:41Now I know much better than to let that make me mad
1:47I don't let none of that get me down
1:51From what I've found this town gets around
2:17When I first came here the streets were paved with gold
2:19And you can walk that road I've been told
2:22But I won't put out or be controlled
2:24I don't write the sh*t that gets bought and sold
2:27Ask any man
2:28He might know
2:30Who used to live on music row
2:32But that was then and this is now
2:35He told me this town gets around
2:40From what I've found this town gets around
In this town everybody's 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 town wears a good disguise And even I too have been known to wear one As the saying goes it's not who you know But it's who you blow that'll get you in the show And if that's not the case I hear you pay 'em But I don't come easy and I'm flat broke So I guess it's me who gets the joke Maybe I'd be smarter if I played dumb I can't count all the times I've been had Now I know much better than to let that make me mad I don't let none of that get me down From what I've found this town gets around Now the very first manager I ever 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 You know kiss my cheek and drink this wine But if you walk on me then you can just walk I can't count all the times I've been had Now I know much better than to let that make me mad I don't let none of that get me down From what I've found this town gets around When I first came here the streets were paved with gold And you can walk that road I've been told But I won't put out or be controlled I don't write the sh*t that gets bought and sold Ask any man He might know Who used to live on music row But that was then and this is now He told me this town gets around From what I've found this town gets around
