Lonely Town Usa

Friday morning sunshine
Everybody's right on time, hear the whistle blow
Last time that they'll ever see
The inside of that factory, plants about to close
Everybody goes

Now the grass grows wild on the empty highway
And the laughter's gone where the children play
And the Southern bound isn't even slowing
It's another day in Lonely Town, USA

Larry moved to San Antone
Michael says he's going home, grew up in L.A.
Mary owns the Corner Store
Been there 40 years or more, knows no other way
But how's she gonna stay?

Now the grass grows wild on the empty highway
And the laughter's gone where the children play
And the Southern bound isn't even slowing
It's another day in Lonely Town, USA

And it's sad to say something they all know
But it's the only way, got to go (got to go)
Got to go

Now the grass grows wild on the empty highway
And the laughter's gone where the children play
And the Southern bound isn't even slowing
It's another day in Lonely Town, USA

It's another day in Lonely Town, USA
