New Town lyrics

[Intro]
Well, this is a song called "New Town"
It's, um, now I wrote this song with—
I was going to Chicago with Bob Gibson
And I, first time I ever played his twelve-string guitar
And it inspired it
Song's in D minor with a capo up two

[Verse 1]
The road goes straight to the town I'm heading for
Pretty cold town that I never seen before
Got trouble on my mind, hope the new town will be kind
Another way of living is what I need to find

[Chorus]
New town, new town, now don't you let me down
Traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound
New town, new town, I'd like a chance to stay
Leave behind the old town, leave it far way

[Verse 2]
My mind isn't easy as I hear the new town call
"You're heading for a future or you're riding for a fall"
And all through the day I can hear the old town say
"You can't beat your troubles if you run the other way"
[Chorus]
New town, new town, now don't you let me down
Traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound
New town, new town, I'd like a chance to stay
Leave behind the old town, leave it far way

[Verse 3]
And time is a-dragging as the road stretches on
And as the wheels are turning, my past is farther gone
And as the trees are going by I wonder what I'll do
And why I left the old town to gamble with the new

[Chorus]
New town, new town, now don't you let me down
Traveled seven hundred miles to be where I am bound
New town, new town, I'd like a chance to stay
Leave behind the old town, leave it far way
