They all say that it's a lonely town They all say that it's a lonley
town Wide open spaces, empty rooms If the weather holds out you could get
there by noon Shadows crawl on the highway line Don't rush, you got
time Pull into a donut shop and get a cup of mud Ask for directions from
a plumber outside He says, "Don't go there bud..." Cause, they all say
that it's a lonely town And they all say that it's a drag And they all
know those people in a lonely town All those people are lonely and
mad Now I got my foot on the gas And as I7m crosing the Mid-West County
line I think about those mosquitos on my windshield And how they don't
give a damn about Christmas time And as the passing trucks all flash their
lights Just as I top the hill I'll remember two green eyes and some
flowers dryin' on a window sill... 'Cause they all say that it's a lonely
town And they all say that it's a drag And they all know those people in
a lonely town All those people are lonely and mad They're just lonely and
mad Out in a lonely
town --------------------------------------------------------------------------
