[Intro]
There's people living in the streets tonight
Tell me, how are you tonight
Are you holding on, oh yeah?
They're never gonna let you down, oh yeah
There's men sleeping in the streets tonight
Freezing in the backseat of a car
Tonight might be the worst of them all
Locked doors and knocks on windows
Too tired eyes, they're asking, "Isn't there somebody somewhere waiting for you?", oh yeah
They're never gonna lеt you down, oh yeah
[Verse]
There's boys running in thе streets tonight
Moms are getting no sleep tonight, they are holding on, oh yeah
Oh, they're never gonna let you down, oh yeah
These girls don't wanna be alone tonight
Say, "Can you come around tonight?"
If you must be the worst of 'em all
[Bridge]
Locked doors and steps on window sills
She said, "It's getting late, they're home in a minute"
It only takes a minute and he's forever gone, oh yeah
This miserable town of ours that no one ever leaves without a suit and tie (Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah)
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
Close your eyes and raise your glass to this miserable town of ours that no one ever leaves without a suit and tie, oh yeah (Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah)
They're never gonna let you down (Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah)
Well, close your eyes and raise your glass to this miserable town of ours that no one ever leaves without a suit and tie (Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ah)

I‘ve been thinking about this sense of home that you have for some places that aren’t really treating you well. I wanted to write about a small, miserable town and at first, I was just collecting scenarios I thought could happen in a place like this. So in the end, the people I am telling stories ab...
