A town is a human settlement larger than a village but smaller than a city. The size definition for what constitutes a "town" varies considerably in different parts of the world.
The word town shares an origin with the German word Stadt, the Dutch word tuin, and the Old Norse tun. The German word Zaun comes closest to the original meaning of the word: a fence of any material. An early borrowing from Celtic *dunom (cf. Old Irish dun, Welsh din "fortress, fortified place, camp," dinas "city;"
In English and Dutch, the meaning of the word took on the sense of the space which these fences enclosed. In England, a town was a small community that could not afford or was not allowed to build walls or other larger fortifications, and built a palisade or stockade instead. In the Netherlands, this space was a garden, more specifically those of the wealthy, which had a high fence or a wall around them (like the garden of palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn, which was the example for the privy garden of William and Mary at Hampton Court). In Old Norse tun means a (grassy) place between farmhouses, and is still used in a similar meaning in modern Norwegian.

Loving you was just a storybook of fair
I've decided there ain't no real life anywhere
Soon I'll be a painted picture in the book of your mind
Another town is somewhere down the line
Another town another grocery store
Another town another set of swinging doors
And somehow I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
It's another town that don't need my kind
Tell your mama she was sure a dandy
Cook tell your papa that I understood his looks
If I put it all together you're a piece that wouldn't fit
There's another town a comin' up I guess
Another town another grocery store
Another town another set of swinging doors
And somehow I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
It's another town that don't need my kind
As I leave you let me leave you with this thought
Time is candy and we ate all that we bought
And teardrops they're just wrappers on the ground
That a new wind blows into another town
Another town another grocery store
Another town another set of swinging doors
And somehow I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
It's another town that don't need my kind
Another town another grocery store
Another town another set of swinging doors
And somehow I'm a little bit suspicious in my mind
