ringling, ringling
by: jimmy buffett
1974
ringlin’, ringlin’ slippin’ away
only forty people livin’ there today
streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
it’s a dyin’ little town
church windows broken, that place ain’t been used in years
jail don’t have a sheriff or a cell
and electric trains they run by maybe once or twice a month
easin’ it on down the muscle sh-ll
chorus:
ringlin’, ringlin’ slippin’ away
only forty people livin’ there today
’cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
it’s a dyin’ little town
and across from the bar there’s a pile of beer cans
been there twenty-seven years
imagine all the heartaches and tears
in twenty-seven years of beer
so we hopped back in the rent-a-car
and we hit the cruise control
pretty soon the town was out of site
though we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy, and a dog
bracin’ for a ringlin’ friday night
chorus:
ringlin’, ringlin’ you’re just slippin’ away
i wonder how many people will be there a year from today
’cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
it’s a dyin’ little town
yeah, it’s a dyin’ little town
