Lyrics Tin Town - Seals & Crofts
From
the
albums
DOWN
HOME
(1970)
and
SEALS
AND
CROFTS
I
AND
II
(1974).
Have
you
been
down
to
Tin
Town,
where
dreams
in
cans
once
were
drowned.
A
snag
somewhere
in
someone's
life
caught
him
there,
pulled
him
to
strife.
A
bottle
here,
and
there
are
left.
Many
broken,
the
air
is
deaf.
With
non-understanding
vows,
remember
tears
upon
their
brows.
In
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
A
tiny
flag
upon
a
mast,
where
camptown
children
played
in
past.
A
river
winding
through
the
trees.
Banks
eroded,
extreme
degrees.
Once
a
place
to
be
baptized,
when
pentecostal
need
arise.
A
shank
or
two
with
rotted
plank.
A
fish
or
two,
their
eyes
are
blank.
In
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
Well
I
been
down
to
Tin
Town,
where
once
a
boy
I
did
fall
down.
And
cut
my
arm
on
piled
up
junk.
I
wrapped
it
up
and
I
hailed
a
drunk.
He
carried
me
three
miles
to
home,
where
daddy
said
I
was
cut
to
the
bone.
The
doctor
washed
his
hands
and
said,
"Five
more
minutes,
the
boy'd
been
dead."
Down
where
people
lose
their
heads.
In
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
I
know
you
well.
Well
I
live
here
in
Tin
Town.
Not
many
people
come
around.
When
when
they
do
I
smile
at
them.
And
say,
"Hello,
it's
a
mighty
hot
day.
Can
you
spare
a
man
a
dime?
I
got
thirty
cents
and
I
can
buy
some
wine.
I'm
livin'
in
my
childhood
schemes.
Please,
mister,
you
can
make
my
dreams
(you
can
make
my
dreams!)."
In
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
Tin
Town,
has-been
town.
It's
my
home.
It's
my
home.
It's
my
home.
It's
my
home.
