Another song sprouting from a prarie boy

lyrics

ONE HORSE TOWN


SO FAR FROM THE CITY CROWDS
I PASS ANOTHER ONE HORSE TOWN
ALL BOARDED UP, ALL FALLING DOWN
NOT ANOTHER LIVING SOUL AROUND



BROKEN FENCES AND OLD BARBED WIRE
BROKE DOWN CARS WITH FOUR FLAT TIRES
NO MORE TRUCKS UP AT THE CRACK OF THE DAWN
THOSE WERE THE DAYS, BUT NOW IT'S JUST A


CH:
GHOST TOWN WITH FADED SIGNS
RAILROAD TRACKS NOW FADING LINES
THE SUNSET DINER IS ALL CLOSED NOW
AIN'T NO BODY LEFT IN THIS ONE HORSE TOWN

BLEACHERS SAGGING ON THE OLD RODEO GROUNDS
ONCE THEY WERE FULL BUT THOSE DAYS ARE GONE
CANADA DAY THEY HAD THE BIG PARADE
PEOPLE WOULD COME FROM MILES AND MILES AWAY

AS THE SUN SETS ON THE PAST
AND MEMORIES TURN TO DUST
OF SATURDAY NIGHTS AND THEM OLD COUNTRY SONGS
THOSE WERE THE DAYS BUT NOW ITS JUST A
