LOVE ME IN THIS TOWN by Mickey Wilder Sun comes up over the water tank Coffee going cold in the ute Got a couple fences that need fixing And a few more things I've got to do Mud on the tyres, dog in the back Radio talking over the road I know every bend for fifty miles And most of the folks I know Yeah, I like it here Hell, I love it here Just sometimes I get to thinking What if there's somebody out there? I don't need city lights Don't need some downtown high-rise Don't need to spend my Friday night Trying to be somebody I'm not Give me these fields Give me this old dirt road Give me a little house And somewhere I can call home I just want a boy Who'd look at all of this and say “Yeah, I could live here with you” And mean it that way Friday night at the local pub Same old faces, same old beer Someone asks if I've got a girlfriend I laugh and say, “Not this year” Then somebody starts talking football And the moment disappears Funny how you can know everybody And still feel like nobody sees you here There's a guy two towns over I've seen him once or twice I don't even know if he's like me But I catch myself wondering sometimes I don't need city lights Don't need some downtown high-rise Don't need to spend my Friday night Trying to be somebody I'm not Give me these fields Give me this old dirt road Give me a little house And somewhere I can call home I just want a boy Who'd look at all of this and say “Yeah, I could live here with you” And mean it that way Maybe he's out there somewhere Maybe he's looking too Maybe he's sick of crowded bars And wishing for a view Maybe he's got dirt on his boots Maybe he drives an old Ford too Maybe he's closer than I think Maybe he's looking for me too I don't need city lights Don't need some downtown high-rise Don't need to wake up somewhere strange Just to feel like I'm alive Give me these fields Give me this old dirt road Give me somebody's hand in mine When we're heading home I just want a boy Who'd look at all of this and say “Yeah, I could live here with you” And mean it that way Sun goes down over the water tank Same old road, same old view I don't wanna leave this place I just wanna find somebody who does too
