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 as bad as this town
It don¡¯t take you long to feel lowdown in this town
Soon the cotton¡¯s gonna open 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
Hopin¡¯ that dog ain¡¯t got a full load leavin¡¯ this town
The state built new access for travel
They got the pavement 'n we got the gravel
That¡¯s the reason everything¡¯s dying round here
In this town
We got very little sunshine day to day 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 the weeds won¡¯t grow in this town
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.
This town can go the other place I¡¯m going to heaven
I¡¯m bound to catch the next Greyhound
Leavin¡¯ this town
