IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN.

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN.
If you want to live n the kind of a
town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town-it's you!
Real towns are not made by man
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want TO
see
1t isn't your town. it's you,
