Red ribbons hang in a Tennessee square
Old people laughing and singing and dancing down there

I'd like to join them, I got no money to spare
So I sit here and watch from the porch
Drinking whiskey in Granddaddy's chair.

Ferris wheel lights look like pictures I'd seen in a book somewhere
Vacant parking lots across the street remind me I'm going nowhere

I'd like to join 'em, I got no money to spare
So I sit here and watch from the porch
Drinking whiskey in Granddaddy's chair

It's difficult to go on knowing you're out there somewhere
Vacant parking lots across the street remind me I'm going nowhere
