Top Of The Town
Tommy Cash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I promised you the world before we were marrying now maybe you think I let you down
The address where we live you're ashamed to give to our old friends in town
It hurts when you cry and you won't tell me why
Are you sure you want to see it through
Then baby stand by me and soon you're gonna see our hopes and dreams come true
We're climbing up up higher we're gonna set the world on fire
Today we may be down but tomorrow
We're climbing up up up to the top of this town to the top of this town

Those bargain store dresses you can give 'em to your sidter
You won't need them anymore
You can stop saving stamps and that old broken lamp you can throw it out the door
In your arms I'm a king I can do anything if you love me as much as I love you




Then baby stand by me and soo you're gonna see our hopes and dreams come true
We're climbing up up higher...
