This town ain't got no future
It's a river all run dry
It's got nothing left to offer
Guess it's time to say goodbye
Once it was a goldmine
But the gold it turned to sand
Why folks still stick around
I just cannot understand

Godforsaken town
All run down
I got to leave you behind
Godforsaken town
Folks all worn down

And she stands outside a bar
Ready to be picked up
By a stranger in a car
Her lips are red like cherries
And her mini-skirt's too small
She's trying to keep warm
In the cold wind of the fall

A homeless man is pushing
His belongings in a cart
They say he served in Vietnam
And got a purple heart
He's roamed the streets for many years
A journey with no end
Hoping there'll be better times
Somewhere around the bend
