This Town - Roger Miller
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 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven This town can go the other place I'm going to heaven I'm bound to catch the next Greyhound Leavin' this town
