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
