Rory Gallagher – In Your Town lyrics

Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, I won’t stand no messin’ ‘round
The first man I wanna see is the Chief Police
Bring that man right over here,
Stand him right in front of me

I wanna cause no trouble, no fuss, no fight
But you look out man, you know it’s Saturday night
The second man I wanna see is the old Fire Chief
Bring that man right over here,
Stand him right in front of me

I wanna cause no trouble, no fuss, no fight
But see this match, I might set this whole place alight.

The third man I wanna see is the old D.A.
Bring that man right over here, don’t let him get away.
He was the man who locked me inside,
All my young years could rot until I died.
Four bare walls, one cold floor,
That’s all they gave me, they would not give me no more.

Now you come along baby, ask me how I been,
I’ve been up the river in a place they call Sing Sing,
Sing Sing,
Sing Sing.

Mama and papa wrote me to say “Hey son,
Please write and tell us just how you’re getting’on”.
“Dear son” they said “the rumour’s all around the town,
They’re gonna lock you up some years
For something you ain’t done”.

Picked up my pen and I wrote right home,
“Dear mama and papa, now listen to your son,
they’ve taken my twenty-two years, twnety-three days,
twenty-four minutes,
they’ve made it ninety-nine years.
I might even die here”.

On cell block three, make no mistake,
We’ve had it up to the teeth,
We’ve had all we can take.
We got some rope, a grappling hook
And late at night we’re going to make that jump.
It’s only forty feet down that wall
And if we hit the highway
We’ve got an hour before we’re missed at all.

Going to pick up a ride from a pickup truck.
When we hit town,
When we hit town,
Everybody’d better duck.

Now I’m back in your town,
In your town,
In your town.

Now I’m back in your town,
In your town,
In your town.

I’m back in your town
