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
