front country - lonesome town lyrics
downtown shut down twenty-five years ago
why n0body noticed, n0body knows
broke down down here not even a liquor store
gas pumps hanging by a busted screen door
it was a sacrifice
for a future time
now it’s a black crow laughing at the end of the line
oh, lonesome town, lonesome town
ain’t no honey left in lonesome town
and the milk is gone from that old cash cow
down in a lonesome town
billy joe had to go when he turned twenty-five
n0body noticed, n0body cried
grandma, ma and pa, gone and died years ago
it was a last outpost and the living was slow
it didn’t make a sound
when he put it down
and the black crow flew to the very next town
oh, lonesome town, lonesome town
ain’t no honey left in lonesome town
and the milk is gone from that old cash cow
down in a lonesome town
oh, lonesome town, lonesome town
ain’t no honey left in lonesome town
and the milk is gone from that old cash cow
down in a lonesome town
whoa, lonesome town, lonesome town
ain’t n0body left in lonesome town
just a tumbleweed and a wind that howls
down in a lonesome town
whoa, down in a lonesome town
whoo-hoo!
