Song Title: Dead Town

Lyrics:

Dead Town

This place was dying ‘fore I was born
One gas stop in a field of corn
Can't even say the jobs went over seas
Preacher swears it's the Democrats
Cause Christians they don't vote like that
But if there wasn't any work how the hell’d it leave

Now its meth, slow death and Jesus
Graveyard or Greyhound
If you ain’t prayin’ you best be leavin’
‘cause only ghosts live in a Dead Town

The county's biggest industry
Does business on private property
Hate to say booming but it's doing well
I was always good at chemistry
One drawback I didn't see
Was the chance I could blow myself to hell

Now its meth, slow death and Jesus
Graveyard or Greyhound
If you ain’t prayin’ you best be leavin’
‘cause only ghosts live in a Dead Town

The sheriff looks the other way
I'll take him to dinner come Father's Day

Now its meth, slow death and Jesus
Graveyard or Greyhound
If you ain’t prayin’ you best be leavin’
‘cause only ghosts live in a Dead Town
