Lyrics:
Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on a state road map
That's where I was born and where I'll die
Things move at a slower pace
Nobody's in
nothing that pleased us any better
Than when we got an occasional letter
From kin folks livin' up north in some big town
We'd think of all the games we'd
woman's hand,
Helpin' out when I can,
Living the one life I own,
One day at a time.
I have lived down in some jerkwater towns,
Where the sidewalks
The girls on the streets look all sad
In this gold encrusted little town
Why is that? Isn't this the town of dreams?
Yeah, but it comes with
dauber sting
By God doggone it
Yeah, rub a little country on it, aw yeah
On that clean truck
On some life sucks
On that been there, done that, now
Suburbia
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
Little rats running mazes, having babies
It's a vicious little world that we live in
Looking back at a life
times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this mid-town can afford.
Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way son, hmm, old man Wrigley has died
Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
Dig a little deeper, a little bit deeper
Baby, it's you and me
That's right
Music saved my life
Wild eyes
We don't have much time
Die, die,
Now down the road just a mile or two
Lives a little girl named Pearly Blue
About so high and her hair is brown
The Prettiest thing boys in this
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping
I remember thinking 'bout forever
Sitting there with you by the river
We danced in the little lights
And fell for the first time
I remember
The street where we live
Is commonly known as being the wrong side of town
They look down their noses at you
Like they're entitled to keep you
Livin' on free food tidbits
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? Ummhum
Tears from little
as night,
overhead the sounds of horses hooves,
people fighting for their lives.
Some joker in a headband was still
getting chicks for free.
And big
Suburbia
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
Little rats running mazes, having babies
It's a vicious little world that we live in
Looking back at a life
There's a crack in the mirror
All fall down
She was just a baby
Seems so long ago
Left a little crazy
Seems so long ago
No one in that big old
I remember thinking 'bout forever
Sitting there with you by the river
We danced in the little lights
And felt for the first time
I remember
Jack: You keep your small life in a big city, give me a big life in a small town. (Sang) They say folks is dying to get here me I'm dying to get away.
love that never was
Up in that northern Ontario town they call
Sault Ste. Marie
What could have been, what would have been
What should have been
gas like the good ol'
Days no way? Never happen? Records are
Made out of oil all those
Big rock shows go from town to
Town in fuel gobbling 45 foot
Cisco Clifton had a fillin' station
About a mile and a half from town
Most cars passed unless they were out of gas
So Cisco was always around
downtown Dallas by the
Sight of the grassy knoll
Where the leader fell and a town was broken
Away from the feel and flow of life for so many years
He hears
Let me guess, another album about, "Poor me
I'm so famous, it has ruined my rich little life
And I'm such a tortured artist, let me make music about
