I have the lyrics (below) Anyone Know the author Good Old Country Town
(C) I'm 60 Miles or near enough from the (F) bright lights and the (C) noise And 20 years protects me from it's (F) foibles and it's (G) ploys I'm (F) light years from the future I (C) guard it like a (Am) crown I'm a (G) genuine two hotel good old country (Am) town A (G) genuine good old country (C) town
I'm short on supermarkets, take-aways and drive in beers But I'm long on friendly faces I've been this way for years To see the smiling faces you'd swear I was a clown I'm a genuine two hotel good old country town A genuine good old country town
Each Friday night around five o'clock there's a real old hows-ya-been At the Masons and the Victoria they really pack 'em in The way the glasses empty you'd reckon I might drown I'm a genuine two hotel good old country town A genuine good old country town
Once a year each springtime I puts on me best clothes And welcome all the refugees from the city in their droves Salvation Jane's me colour I wear it like a crown I'm a genuine two hotel good old country town A genuine good old country town
So smother me with kindness as you look me up and down But spare me from the progress that makes cities out of towns Wrap me up in cotton wool, keep me back streets brown I'm a genuine two hotel good old country town A genuine good old country town
