In Good Time

Well the fishin' ain't what it used to be
And the mill closed down
The mill closed down
The cops are always bored
And the locals always wander town
They wander town

We got liquor stores, galore
And I think they're building more
This place was boomin' in the nineties
Or so I'm told
The only bar we had, well it burnt to the ground
And all the kids move south
The kids move south

Everyone says that the River is dirty, but
It's done me just fine
But I gotta leave and not look back, if I'm
I'm gonna survive

But, I'll come back home
In good time
I'll come back home
In good time

Shelly moved down to the city for around
Four or five years
Four or five years
She had no luck with love, and thought that it might be
Better back here
Better back here

But she settled for a skid
They think she's got his kid
She gets drunk on the weekends while her mom babysits
And I've seen this happen to so many folks
Time rolls on, they got nowhere to go

Everyone says that the River is dirty, but
It's done me just fine
But I gotta leave and not look back, if I'm
I'm gonna survive

But, I'll come back home
In good time
I'll come back home
In good time

I'll
I'll come back home
I'll come back home

I'll come back home
In good time
I'll come back home
In good time

I'll come back home
In good time
I'll come back home
Oh, I'll come back home

I'll come back home
You better believe me babe
I'll come back home
And I'll tell stories of old
And I'll tell stories of love

It'll be funny comin' back
Seein' all the old places that we used to play
Get stoned, piss in bottles
And we'd throw 'em at our school

Maybe it'll be changed
Maybe I won't recognize the place
Or maybe it'll still be the same
