Artist/Band: Trace Adkins
Lyrics for Song: Metropolis
Lyrics for Album: Songs About Me [2005]



Verse I

Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town

Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow

One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet

Both police came, but I got away



Chorus:

It was a boomtown back in '62, 'til the coal ran out

And a drought came through, and they dammed the river

That we all used to fish

Population 405 and I made it 404 one night

And left the city limit'sign layin' in the ditch

Run plumb over it, leavin' Metropolis



Verse II

Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard

It ain't safe after dark, guess this ol' boy drove too far

Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May

Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place

Where we can walk down to the country store

And we won't even have to lock our door

We can still get air and water there for free

She said that sounds good to me



Chorus:

It was a boomtown back in '62, 'til the coal ran out

And a drought came through, and they dammed the river

That we all used to fish

Population 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more

And there's a city limit'sign layin' in the ditch

That I need to fix, back in Metropolis

I'm almost to Metropolis

And I'm back in Metropolis
