Forgotten Town

from Outlaw Style by St. Peter's Dog

/

lyrics

The light is low atop the westward hill
The lake is calm, the air is still
A lonesome, silent sound
Screams thru the forgotten town

Things got bad, things got worse
Hunger drove a crow-black hearse
Up and down and all around
The emptying streets in the forgotten town

The kids all left for the coast
On the heels of fortune’s ghost
The mailboxes have all rusted brown
And no one returns to the forgotten town

There ain’t no moral for me to tell
Once it stood then it fell
They buried the dead in the ground
Then salted the earth in the forgotten town
