IT ISN’T YOUR TOWN—
IT’S YOU.
BY COL. GEARHEART
If you want to live in the kind of a t jwn
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip,
And start on a long, long hike.

You’ilonly find what you left behind,
For there’s nothing that’s really new,
It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your
p town,
1 It isn’t your town—-it’s YOU !
