Inn Town Lyrics

Parking lot, movie screen. I can't feel anything
Cigarette, beat up tv, I can't feel anything.

Now that I'm,
I'm in town
I feel fine
fine for now

Hang around with the people I used to be
Hang around on a corner waiting to go, have a seat

Now that I'm
I'm in town
I feel fine
fine for now

Fifty cents, or a dollar three
I don't owe you anything.
Spent a life on a heart
that would rather not feel anything

I can try. I can see.
I can want it to be
I can laugh. I can feel.
I can't see anything without dreaming

It's just like a dream
I can feel
I can't see anything that seems real

Now that I'm
I'm in town
I feel fine
fine for now...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Inn Town lyrics by Whiskeytown

Seems as though this song is about the speaker coming back to (presumably) his hometown after many years away. Everything feels different than what it used to be. He seems to have no more emotional attachments to the town. There also seems to be a former love (first that starts out "Fifty cents...) that he doesn't want anything to do with anymore. The town he once new only exists in his dreams.
