Lyrics

NEXT TIME IN TOWN
words and music by Chris Kowanko

Here we come to part once more
money's time and love is war
there's always someone keeping score
I'll be gone don't know how long
it's not the end of me
darlin' cant you see

Hey NEXT TIME IN TOWN
let me be the one to track you down
and you can laugh when I pay half
NEXT TIME IN TOWN

I won't drink and I won't smoke
I won't take the slightest toke
I won't shrink and I won't poke
this will be a brand new me
a completely new version
a different person

Hey NEXT TIME IN TOWN
you can be the one in the wedding gown
and all that rice come pelting down
NEXT TIME IN TOWN

We adapt and we invent
as necessity comes against
what we love and the elements
save a kiss for the optimist
you'll wait at the gate
I'll be totally straight

I'm doing this because
I don't want to be like I was
and won't you be surprised
when you look in my eyes

Hey NEXT TIME IN TOWN
you can be the one to knock me down
'cuz I won't need to make you bleed
NEXT TIME IN TOWN

Hey NEXT TIME IN TOWN
you can be the one to shoot me down
'cuz I'll stand tall, take the fall
NEXT TIME
NEXT TIME
NEXT TIME IN TOWN
