IntroDG.
Verse 1Well, I Dtook a little trip to the smokestack town
It's the only thing that helps me when I'm feeling down
Took a Gleft in the high school parking
Lit a spliff in the VP parking spot
Got an Dold Toyota, four bald tires
Took her down River Road and past Southwire
Pulled it Goff that two-story house burnt down
Nothing left but ashes now.DG.
Verse 2I've been 'Dcross Hogsville to the paper mill
Well, it's nice to see it's up and running still
Used to sGleep down here with a rod and reel and pray for a little luck
And my Ddaddy's still working the graveyard shift
Never seemed to really struggle much at all with it
Soon enGough, he saved it up enough to call it quits
'Cause it broke his body down
And that's the Away it goes in a lGonely smokestack tDownG.
ChorusThis Atown ain't really ever changed
Since myG parents' parents gave 'em names
But it's Dnice to see the same old friendly faces roaming 'round.A/C#
That Asunset sky still up in flames
At aG district high school baseball game
And theD grass is blue and the river's running browAnG.
In a smokestack tDownG.
Verse 3Well, I Dpulled on in the Vastwood Park
Where the kids are still hanging out after dark
No lGight but a butane lighter spark
Smells a little too loud
They sDwear their parents still don't know
But they were here too, not long ago
After aGll, there ain't elsewhere to go in a lonely smokestack town
It's just Anice to see the Gkids still hang around.D.
ChorusAnd this tAown ain't really ever changed
Since myG parents' parents gave 'em names
But it's Dnice to see the same old friendly faces roaming 'round.A/C#
That sAunset sky still up in flames
At aG district high school baseball game
Where theD grass is blue and the river's running brown.AG.
