Our Little Town |
| Now the railroad came generations ago |
| And the town grew up as the crops did grow |
| The crops grew well and the town did too |
| They say it’s dyin now and there ain’t a thing we can do |
| I don’t have to read the news |
| Or hear it on the radio |
| I see it in the faces of everyone I know |
| The cost goes up |
| What we made comes down |
| What’s gonna happen to our little town |
| The summer is full of thunder |
| The kids run and play |
| Momma got a new wrinkle |
| Poppa ain’t got much to say |
| Rust grows along the railroad track |
| The young folks leave |
| They don’t come back |
| And I don’t have to read the news |
| Or hear it on the radio |
| I see it in the faces of everyone I know |
| The boards go up |
| The signs come down |
| What’s gonna happen to our little town |
| Tom lost his farm |
| And we lost Tom |
| He left in the night |
| I don’t know where he’s gone |
| What he’d lost |
| He just couldn’t face |
| What we’re losin' can’t be replaced |
| I don’t have to read the news |
| Or hear it on the radio |
| I see it in the faces of everyone I know |
| The reason we’re here |
| Is the farms around |
| So what’s gonna happen to our little town |
| We’ve seen hard times |
| Many times before |
| Maybe this whole thing is just one more |
| It never was perfect |
| Maybe no one’s to blame |
| To see it die like this |
| It’s a god damned shame |
| And I don’t have to read the news |
| Or hear it on the radio |
| I see it in the faces of everyone I know |
| The sun comes up |
| The sun goes down |
| But what’s gonna happen to our little town |
