lyrics

People are crazy!
They race their lives away
Trying to find someplace
They think they can stay
I learned from an early age
That home is where the heart is
So, home is where I stayed

You are better off leaving well enough alone
Than trying to turn amber into gold

So, I sat up on a rock in a Stormy Little Town
I didn't know then what I know now
I sat up on a rock in every brand new town
Until the baddest cat came to knock me down

You are going to need love in a Stormy Little Town
Because it is as boring as hell and there is no one around
You are going to need love in a Stormy Little Town

The old man said get down from your perch
You're an angry young fool!
You don't have to be to proud to known that
He who pays the piper calls the tune

You shoot for the stars and aim for the moon
Wind up in bars trying to stay cool
You are going to need love in a Stormy Little Town
'Cause it is as boring as hell and there is no one around

I sat up on a rock in every brand new town
Until the baddest cat came to knock me down

My dreams were paved by Broadway and the Vaudeville show
I had to show off somewhere 'cause I had nowhere to go
If you asked me then about family and friends
They might have said the bank is about to foreclose
On every dream they ever had

You are going to need love in a Stormy Little Town
Because it is as boring as hell and I'm here to tell
You are going to need love in a Stormy Little Town
