They all say that it`s a lonely town
They all say that it`s a lonley town
Wide open spaces, empty rooms
If the weather holds out you could get there by noon
Shadows crawl on the highway line
Don`t rush, you got time
Pull into a donut shop and get a cup of mud
Ask for directions from a plumber outside
He says, Don`t go there bud...
Cause, they all say that it`s a lonely town
And they all say that it`s a drag
And they all know those people in a lonely town
All those people are lonely and mad
Now I got my foot on the gas
And as I7m crosing the Mid-West County line
I think about those mosquitos on my windshield
And how they don`t give a damn about Christmas time
And as the passing trucks all flash their lights
Just as I top the hill
I`ll remember two green eyes and some flowers dryin` on a window sill...
`Cause they all say that it`s a lonely town
And they all say that it`s a drag
And they all know those people in a lonely town
All those people are lonely and mad
They`re just lonely and mad
Out in a lonely town
