SWINGTOWN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

there's a sin city down by the bay
don't wanna go but I'm gone there today
a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
but that don't mean that I'm singing the blues

swingtown
such a mean
swingtown
and if you bean
to swingtown
then come around
and buy me just one more little drink

all day I scrabble with the cops and rabble
to them all I say is just babble and babble
all night I fight with the whores and whites
but that is my only true delight

swingtown
don't you dare
bring me down
I declare
swingtown
is a town
full of killers and perverts and clowns

I learned to drink when I was only a lad
my daddy said good but my momma said bad
but likker's the only elixer I've had
that can make me feel something like glad

swingtown
in the ring
swingtown
boxing
swingtown
I'll get my chance
to get up on the canvas
and dance dance dance dance

swingtown
overamp
swingtown
be the champ
swingtown
you're the best
heavyweight
if I had to stop and make my best guess

so now I am waiting for morning to crack
and if I get out then I aint coming back
so take my advice and don't even try
cause if you do then you're likely to die

swingtown
full a pride
swingtown
git inside
swingtown
get in the car buddy
we're gonna take you
for a ride

swingtown
yes it's true
swingtown
no matter who
swingtown
and when they do
they gonna make a mess outta you
