Interracial Song: "Talk of the Town" by Bruce Hornsby

Talk of the Town by Bruce Hornsby (link to video) 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 just stand around Me and my baby, we're the talk of the town The old 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 I said, Son, you know we're really color blind But everybody else seems to really mind Lose her now, I think you'll find Everyone else will just fall in line? The chamber of commerce 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 Me and my baby, we're the talk of the town Probably not the first but 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 Well, the old town fathers are up in arms The city council is very alarmed The cousins and uncles are having fits Predictors of doom think this is it Everybody else is just hanging around Me and my baby, we're the talk of the town
