James Taylor - Her Town Too Lyrics






She's been afraid to go out. She's afraid of the knock on her door.
There's always a shade of a doubt. She can never be sure.
Who comes to call? Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend, anyone at all.
Anything but nothing again.

It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too.
It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too.

Seems like even her old girlfriends might be talking her down.
She's got her name on the grapevine running up and down the telephone line.
Talking about someone said, someone said something about,
something else someone might have said about her.
She always figured that they were her friends but maybe they can live without her.

It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too.
It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too.

Well, people got used to seeing them both together.
But now he's gone and life goes on, nothing lasts forever, oh no.
She gets the house and the garden, he gets the boys in the band.
Some of them his friends, some of them her friends, some of them understand.
Lord knows that this is just a small town city, yes, and everyone can see you fall.
It's got nothing to do with pity, I just wanted to give you a call.

It used to be your town, it used to be my town, too.
You never know till it all falls down, somebody loves you, somebody loves you.
Darling, somebody still loves you.
I can still remember her when it used to be her town, too.
It used to be your town, it used to be my town, too...

  62. W.... C....

    Perfect song

  63. G.... ....

    This song gets me...my parents used to play this record and dance around the living room, then split up....then in my teens and 20s I was this "Social Butterfly"-total party girl-hung out at all the cool bars and was friends with a bunch of people-which was how I met the greatest love of my life...we fell madly in love and were always out together, hammin it up...then he became the Father of my Son and my husband...after 9 years, things had gone pretty sour, and he left me for another woman who he'd been having an affair with for years-married her, in fact. TOTALLY broke my heart. He ended up doing the same thing to her...he's NOW married to a gal who's 20 years younger. I rarely go out anymore- but I did the other night and they were there and I ended up hanging out with them at the bar for 30 min or so...mainly bc I didn't know what else to do...and they knew everyone there... i came home and listened to this song, because it makes me feel something other than numb...it feels like my Ex wrote it for me, every part....it's been 14 years and I still am broken in a way- songs like this are cathartic for that, and for the memories of it growing up.....

  64. A.... S....

    This is probably the one and only song for divorced people. I watched a couple of versions of "What's The Glory In Living" and the version I liked, like most people, was Michael Murphy's version. Anyway, thanks people. I'm not divorced and never married but I once thought being married was the way to go. I'm satisfied knowing other men who were probably better looking or smarter eventually fell out of FAVOR with some FEMALE, some WIFE. So I am so very Happy that I only own cats. F WOMEN!!!!

    j.... ....

    So you're happy, now?

    j.... ....

    You really feel this way?

  83. I.... M....

    Yep, he & Carly's divorce...sad.. but oh so good. JD Souther is wonderful too.

    I.... M....

    Funny, but I doubt james agrees with you, well, maybe NOW:/

  88. T.... L....

    Born in 1982 and this is one of favorites.

    James Taylor and J.D. Souther's voices mixed in so perfectly together in this song.

  98. D.... C....

    If ever there was a textbook example of "Art Imitating Life" ,this song came out at the very time I ( a full time pro musician) was breaking up with my "House & The Garden" mindsetted girlfriend. I (and countless others in my situation) could have written this song in our own way---" Now she's gone & life goes on--Nothing lasts forever". Thanx J T & J D Souther
