Talk of the Town (acoustic) Lyrics

Left my hometown in a hurry

Bright eyed with brand new strings on my guitar

Then I did the dance, went to the parties

Shook all the heads, dressed like a Barbie

So they wouldn't forget me

But where did it get me

I hear the talk of the town

People say I should listen

So many words going round

About what's cool and what isn't

It goes on and on

I should go back to blonde

Sing happier songs

Cause my ten years are ticking

It's the truth

But they'll never say it

You're only the talk of the town

Till they find someone new to talk about

They say there's room for many

But they only open the gate for one at a time

They say hurry up and wait your turn

Then you turn around and you feel the burn

Of being skipped in line

Wish I had a dime for every single time

I hear the talk of the town

People say I should listen

So many words going round

About what's cool and what isn't

It goes on and on

I should go back to blonde

Sing happier songs

Cause my ten years are ticking

It's the truth

But they'll never say it

You're only the talk of the town

Till they find someone new to talk about

Yeah, I did the dance

Went to the parties

Shook all the hands

Dressed like a Barbie

For the keys to the castle

Turns out it ain't worth the hassle

Cause it's just the talk of the town

People say I should listen

So many words going round

About what's cool and what isn't

It goes on and on

I should go back to blonde

Sing happier songs

Cause my ten years are ticking

Girl, give 'em hell

They don't know what they're missing

Be yourself and nobody different

Cause you're only the talk of the town

Till they find someone new to talk about

You're only the talk of the town

Till they find someone new to talk about
