Seals & Crofts Tin Town Lyrics:
(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals &
Dash Crofts, 1970) From the albums DOWN HOME
(1970) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).

Have you been down to Tin Town, where dreams in
cans once were drowned. A snag somewhere in
someone's life caught him there, pulled him to
strife. A bottle here, and there are left. Many
broken, the air is deaf. With non-understanding
vows, remember tears upon their brows. In Tin
Town, has-been town. Tin Town, has-been town.

A tiny flag upon a mast, where camptown children
played in past. A river winding through the trees.
Banks eroded, extreme degrees. Once a place to be
baptized, when pentecostal need arise. A shank or
two with rotted plank. A fish or two, their eyes

are blank. In Tin Town, has-been town. Tin Town,
has-been town.

Well I been down to Tin Town, where once a boy I
did fall down. And cut my arm on piled up junk. I
wrapped it up and I hailed a drunk. He carried me
three miles to home, where daddy said I was cut to
the bone. The doctor washed his hands and said,
"Five more minutes, the boy'd been
dead." Down where people lose their heads. In
Tin Town, has-been town. Tin Town, has-been town.
I know you well.

Well I live here in Tin Town. Not many people come
around. When when they do I smile at them. And
say, "Hello, it's a mighty hot day. Can you
spare a man a dime? I got thirty cents and I can
buy some wine. I'm livin' in my childhood schemes.
Please, mister, you can make my dreams (you can
make my dreams!)." In Tin Town, has-been
town. Tin Town, has-been town. It's my home. It's
my home. It's my home. It's my home.
