lyrics

In Midtown

G
If you've got a tattoo where it's out of sight,
D
I'll bet you live in midtown.
D
If you eat at Chubby's late at night,
G
I'll bet you live in midtown.
G G7
If you sit out late on your front porch
C A7
and count the sirens and fireflies,
G D
and say to your neighbor, "It's a quiet night."
C D G
I'll bet you live in midtown.

If you slowly cross the street in traffic with a smile,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
If you're color blind, especially about your clothes,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
If you pass a street musician, stop to listen,
but can't afford to tip,
then invite him home to dinner for the hell of it,
I'll bet you live in midtown.

C G
I'll bet you live in midtown, and have sunk some deep roots down,
A D G D7
where creative, unique, artistic and cantankerous folks are found, (like you).
G
In midtown.

If your hardware store has wooden floors,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
If a block party brings you all out of doors,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
If you put lawn ornaments by your front steps
and old TV's out for the Scavengers,
if you paint one side of your house lavender,
I'll bet you live in midtown.

refrain

If your grocery store is just a grocery store,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
If there's beveled glass in your oak front door,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
If you ride the bus and argue with the driver
until he thinks your way,
If you think beauty is a '57 Chevrolet,
I'll bet you live in midtown.
refrain
