about

Written by Andy Furgeson/Red Yarn. Produced by Dean Jones.

lyrics

There's something going down at the town hall
There's a crowd gathering round at the town hall
They're making quite a rowdy kinda sound, y'all
Lots of talking and shouting going round, y'all
I think I'll go and see what's going down, y'all
See why everybody's meeting at the town hall

CHORUS:
At the town hall meeting
(At the town hall meeting)
All my neighbors are speaking
(All my neighbors are speaking)
To the folks we got leading
(The folks we got leading)
They're hearing what we're feeling
(They're hearing what we're feeling)
We may be disagreeing
(We may be disagreeing)
But our hearts are beating
(Our hearts are beating)
At the town hall meeting
(At the town hall meeting)
Yeah!

There's a lady trying to get a new stop sign
And a guy with a petition we should all sign
Some citizens are wondering if the mayor was lying
About the rumor that we all heard through the grapevine
If you feel compelled then go get in the waiting line
And you'll get a turn to stand up and speak your mind

CHORUS

You can have your own opinion
Just lemme have mine
It ain't all about winning
But it's all about trying, yeah
So keep on trying, y'all!
