Stephen Simmons Hadley's Bend lyrics

Gordon's Gin goes down
Easy in Hadley's Bend
If you listen you can hear the sound
Of Old Hickory in the wind
Trail of Tears had passed
Through here it's been said
Now we've got a golf course
Souvenir shops with arrowheads

Chorus:
You can hear the sound of souls trapped in this bend
There's only one way out but a million ways in
Hadley's Bend

A Rayon City flat
A masonite siding trap
And a DuPont job that put
Clothes on all our backs
This place once made the powder
That helped to win the war
Then the cellophane and rayon
Kept open these plant doors


Chorus

Bobby joined the service
And now he's in Iraq
Susie ran off and got married
At DuPont High she usta run track
Sarah she let go
In the summer of ‘92
We usta dream of retirement
Now I'm wishing I could let go too

Chorus

Gordon's Gin goes down
Easy in Hadley's Bend
If you listen you can hear the sound
Of Old Hickory in the wind
