Lyrics:
At the door
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
A friend came around
Tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
At the door
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
A friend came around
Tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
This old town is filled with sin
It'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
And Satan is waiting his turn
The scientists say it'll all wash away
But we don't believe anymore
'Cause we've got our recruits
In their green mohair suits
So please show your I.D. at the door
[Chorus]
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
A fool came around tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted in his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they ever had
[Chorus]
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
I heard from a friend you'd been messing around
With a cute little thing I'd been dating uptown
Well I don't know if I like that idea much
Well you'd better stay clear I might start acting rough
You out of town guys sure think you're real keen
Think all of us boys here are homespun and green
But that's wrong my friend so get this through your head
We're tough and we're Texan with necks good and red
So it's ki yi yippie yi yi
You long hairs are sure gonna die
Our American home was clean till you came
And kids still respected the president's name
And the eagle still flew in the sky
Hearts filled with national pride
Then you came along with your drug crazy songs
Goddamit you're all gonna die
How dare you sit there and drink all our beer
Oh it's made for us workers who sweat, spit and swear
The minds of our daughters are poisoned by you
With your communistic politics and them negro blues
Well I'm gonna quit talking and take action now
Run all of you fairies clean out of this town
Oh I'm dog tired of watching you mess up our lives
Spending the summertime naturally high
And it's ki yi yippie yi yi
You long hairs are sure gonna die
Our American home was clean till you came
And kids still respected the president's name
And the eagle still flew in the sky
Hearts filled with national pride
Then you came along with your drug crazy songs
Goddamit you're all gonna die
Goddamit you're all gonna die
Oh lord, goddamit you're all gonna die, listen now
No monkey business in this town,
Well who do you think you're pushing round,
This towns respectable and clean,
Just look around you'll see what I mean.
Man!
[Chorus]
Clean town if you want to get away
Won't you get awayâ?¦
We were so strong then
We built our house on our love
We had a heart on the hill
Love was so proud then
We lived in the clouds when
The tower was crumbling down
Around us on the hill
Oh, we've got to leave this town together
Clean out another house
Amity
Amity is not too much to ask
We reach to the sky still
In hopes we'd be able
To see the bigger picture later on
But we tumbled down
Jack 'n' Jill all around
As the valley swallowed up
All the dreams we had made
Oh, see the lighthouse in the distance
On some farther shore
We were so strong then
We built our house on our love
We had a heart on the hill
Love was so proud then
We lived in the clouds when
The tower was crumbling down
Around us on the hill
All the girls loved crowns before
But they hate crowns now
Pandemic is guilty, guilty
That crowns are not trending now
Because the evil virus is called the crown
Away coronavirus, go away
Get well soon country, get well World
Away viruses, go away
Kings need a golden crown
People need a clean town
A virus needs statistics down
Virus - down, down, down
The guys wore crown print sweatshirts
But today girls and boys threw out these sweatshirts
They are tired of quarantines and self-isolation
They are tired of scary news and messages
So everyone wants the joys and holidays of victory over the virus
The victory over the virus is necessary
Victory over the crown is necessary
Necessary, necessary, necessary
Kings need a golden crown
People need a clean town
A virus needs statistics down
Virus - down, down, down
Gold crown is a beautiful thing
Do not call diseases such beautiful words
Let there be crowns for kings and queens
Let there be crowns on the head of beauties
Viruses don't deserve crowns
Viruses must be destroyed
And crowns will only be gold
And crowns will only be for kings
Kings need a golden crown
People need a clean town
A virus needs statistics down
Virus - down, down, down
Kings need a golden crown
People need a clean town
A virus needs statistics down
Virus - down, down, down
Side road fresh, small town clean
A bunch of wild life tattoos on me
Side road fresh, small town clean (Church)
A bunch of wild life tattoos on me
Super Sport, southern charmer
Country cruisin' in a Cadillac
I'm so official now I ain't drivin' because
I'm in the back
Dixieland made, fuck what everybody say
Dirty boots stretched out in my new Escalade
Ayy haters mumble when they see me 'cause
My rims big like Paul Wall who the, who the
I'm Upchurch on repeat like Mike Jones
Only L's I got got sevens on 'em and
Their bass could break a whole femur bone
They told me to go break a leg when
I recorded my first rap song so
Here I am swamp drippin' in my Insta pictures
Here I stand with my day ones
And my misfit's in it
And I'm to blame for the rebel new age
808 too loud but the
Neighbors all dead motherfucker
Side road fresh, small town clean
A bunch of wild life tattoos on me
Side road fresh, small town clean
A bunch of wild life tattoos on me
Side road fresh, small town clean
A bunch of wild life tattoos on me
Side road fresh, small town clean
A bunch of wild life tattoos on me
Who they think when they hear me country rap
Boy?
This old town's filled with sin
It'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
And Satan is waiting his turn
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the 31st floor, a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
The scientists say
It'll all wash away
But we don't believe any more
'Cos we got our recruits
And our green mohair suits
So please show your ID at the door
A friend came around
Tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
Have you ever seen a miracle - you couldn't doubt or imitate
What's it really worth to you to shake the holy hand of fate
Well I did what I could to make ends meet
Been a gunrunner and a medicine man
In a Kansas town I was a rainmaker,
There the hand of fate got out of hand
Rainmaker Rainmaker save this one horse town
Rainmaker pray to heaven
From the Flint Hills the land was cracked and dried
Thirsty streets in misery
I took the sign down that said medicine man
Put one up that said rainmaker - that was me
So the townspeople gave me money up front
To light a fire - pray, and dance around
Tell them it'd rain so they'd all go to bed
And I'd make my break clean out of town
But I started this dance and a storm kicked up
The sky went black from coast to coast
It was too late to stop - it was to late to pray
I had summoned down the Holy Ghost
Oh the searing wind and the clouds of dust
And hell came raining down
What came out of me and the powers that be
Was the last of that one horse town

You wanna worship it's feelings
The ones who's squeezing the shame from every man
If mama says it's dinner time, if she ruins your love, run away
So you live in a prison, oh so you're wasting your life
Oh on a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of, man
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love, yeah
Won't you walk down the main street
Take the bridge over never ending rails
And even if you're falling down
That's an open door to the outside world
So you live in a bubble, so you're wasting your life
Oh on a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of man
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love, hey, hey
You can drive to the east cost, disappear for a while
I put the band-echo on, then we'll give him a ride
Are you the one I dreamed of man
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your
Love, she got away
Whoa, yeah, she got away
Whoa she got away
Whoa she got away

From the Album:
* Paradise in distress
In broad daylight
Your clean cut town
Has turned into a hunting ground
And Mama don't need no crystal ball
To see the weight
That's coming down
25 hours a day
25 hours a day
In the heart of night
It howls for more
The beast that prowls
The killing floor
And Mama don't need to read the cards
To thell you times are gettin' hard
25 hours a day
25 hours a day
You've seen it before
It's been done to you
In another life, it spell taboo
Mama calls it
Mama calls it: D
