From where I stand this old town
could use a fresh coat of paint.
It's faded and worn in all the places
you ain't going anymore.
I may have lost a step, but I've still
got enough to make it out the door,
So lady take my arm, and lady
lets go paint the town, the color
of that pretty silk night gown
that I bought you for your birthday
at the shop that used to be right there
before it turned into a Starbucks.
You never cared for Latte,
but you always loved your tea.
You never trusted my kind,
but you always trusted me.

Let's go (hmmmm) paint the town darlin'
levi blue jean blue and
convenience store rose red.
Blonde on black with a little
bit of silver trim darlin'.
Let’s go paint this old town again.
Let's go (hmmmm) paint the town darlin'.
Seems like a long long time, since
we were the local color, darlin'.
So let's go paint this old town again.

From where I stand this old town
could use a fresh coat of paint.
It's faded and worn in all the places
you ain't going any more. I'm old enough
to know I need your touch, your love,
your kiss to keep me young.
So lady take my arm and lady
lets go paint the town the color of
that sunset that we found,
when we walked down by the river,
and you just stared at me,
so I said what and you just kissed me.
I knew I always would remember
the way you looked at me.
I knew you never trusted my kind,
but you always trusted me,
so then my love,

Let's go (hmmmm) paint the town darlin'.
Levi blue jean blue and
convenience store rose red.
Blonde on black with a
little bit of silver trim darlin'.
Let’s go paint this old town again.

You always did like taxi cabs
better than limousines.
Sittin’ all up close in the
back seat groovin to Al Green.
​Lovin' you whether, whether
​ times are good or bad,
happy or sad.

Let's go (hmmmm) paint the town darlin'.

You never trusted my kind,
but, you always trusted me.
