Talk of the Town

I've been riding around with the top down
 Like I always do
 My love at my side, but only this time
 My friends say something's changed you
 They said you're running with the wrong set
 The girl is someone you should never have met
 Let her go on her own, son
 Everyone else has just come undone
 The old town fathers are up in arms
 The city council is very alarmed
 Cousins and uncles are having fits
 Predictors of doom think this is it
 Everybody else is just hanging around
 And me and my baby, we're the talk of the town
 The statue there in the town square
 Seems to stare at me
 Walking around with my head down
 They say can't we make you see
 Said son, you know we're really color blind
 But everybody else seems to really mind
 Lose her now, I think you'll find
 Everything else will just fall in line
 The old town fathers are up in arms
 The city council is very alarmed
 Cousins and uncles are having fits
 Predictors of doom think this is it
 Everyone else is just thinking out loud
 And me and my baby, we're the talk of the town
 We're probably not the first
 Surely not the last
 Shouldn't throw stones out from your house of glass
 Round here lots of crackers and cheese
 Stay away from those my daddy said to me
 You'll get in trouble if you mess with these
 The old town fathers are up in arms
 The city council is very alarmed
 Cousins and uncles are having fits
 Predictors of doom think this is it
 Everybody else is just hanging around
 And me and my baby, we're the talk of the town
