This Town

Well if you ever want to get depressed just come to this town



Nothing to do from dinner to breakfast in this town



Four street lights and one old grocery I ain't long to stay here no siree



I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town



I've seen towns but no town's as bad as this town



It don't take long to feel lowdown in this town



Soon cotton's gone opened up and I'm gonna pick it



Just long enough to make enough to buy myself a ticket



I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town



Here I stand on the dusty road leavin' this town



A hoping that dog ain't got a full load leavin' this town



The state built new routes just for travel they got

the pavement and we got the gravel



That's the reason everythin's dying around here in this town



Well there's lots of sunshine very little hay in this town



The mail don't run but every other day in this town



Four street lights and one old grocery I ain't long to stay here no siree



I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town



Well we don't reap we don't sow in this town



Things are so bad that the weeds won't grow in this town



One two three four five six seven this town can go

to one place I'm goin' to heaven



I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town
