Roger Miller This Town lyrics

Well, 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 sire
I'm bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin' this town

I've seen towns but no town's
As bad as this town
It don't take long to feel lowdown
In this town

Soon cotton's gone opened 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

A hoping that dog ain't got a full load
Leavin' this town
The state built new routes just for travel

They got the pavement and we got the gravel

That's the reason everythin's dying around here
In this town
Well there's lots of sunshine, very little hay
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 sire

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 that the weeds won't grow
In this town
One two three four five six seven
This town can go to one place I'm goin' to heaven

I'm bound to catch the next greyhound
Leavin' this town
(Pa, pa, pa, pa)
