Another Town
Love's Illusion Fades in Another Town
Lyrics
Loving you was just a storybook of fair
Loving you was like a fairy tale, unreal and idealized
I've decided there ain't no real life anywhere
Decided that real life is absent or unsatisfactory
Soon I'll be a faded picture in the book of your mind
Anticipating becoming a distant memory in your thoughts
Another town is somewhere down the line
Moving on to another place in the future
Another town, another grocery store
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of life in different towns
Another town, another set of swinging doors
Highlighting the routine of encountering similar situations
Somehow, I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
Expressing suspicion or doubt in the speaker's mind
It's another town that don't need my kind
Feeling unwanted in the new town
Tell your mama, she was sure a dandy cook
Complimenting the cooking skills of the partner's mother
Tell your papa that I understood his looks
Acknowledging understanding of disapproving looks from the partner's father
If I put it all together, you're a piece that wouldn't fit
Suggesting that the relationship is incompatible
Another town's a comin' up I guess
Anticipating the arrival of another town and change
Another town, another grocery store
Repeating the theme of encountering similar situations in new places
Another town, another set of swinging doors
Emphasizing the familiarity of new surroundings
Somehow I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
Continuing to feel suspicion or doubt in the speaker's mind
It's another town that don't need my kind
Reiterating the sense of being unwanted in the new town
As I leave you, let me leave you with this thought
Leaving behind a reflection on time and its consumption
Time is candy and we ate all that we bought
Comparing time to candy and implying it's all used up
Those little tears you're cryin' are just wrappers on the ground
Describing tears as remnants of consumed emotions
That a new wind blows into another town
Signifying a fresh start and change in a new town
Another town, another grocery store
Repeating the pattern of encountering new places and situations
Another town, another set of swinging doors
Highlighting the routine of facing similar circumstances
Somehow I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
Continuing to harbor suspicion or doubt in the speaker's mind
It's another town that don't need my kind
Reiterating the feeling of being unwanted in the new town
It's another town that don't need my kind
Emphasizing the sense of rejection by multiple towns
