My Hometown

At a bus stop off the county line
Smoking beneath the for sale sign
Watching all them cars as they roll on by

They disappear on down the road
Heading for nowhere I suppose
But sometimes I wish I could tag along

CHORUS
It’s alright, it’s ok
It’s just another wasted day
Life is just another thing to bring you down
So punch out and get stoned
It’s just another night alone
Waiting for the sun to roll back around
And it’s my hometown

And there’s an old sign at the Cottontail
“New girls have arrived and they’re for sale”
It’s been hanging there for sixteen years

So plays the slots at the Paiute bar
And pay for your whore with a credit card
Drown away the pain in fifty cent tap beer

CHORUS

With a mining daddy and a double wide
In the deserts of Nevada off Route 95
I learned home aint nothing but sagebrush and satellite dish and sand

Me and my buddy Jamie Lee
We had our plans for moving east
But things they don’t always turn out like you planned

CHORUS
