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 townTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
