Nobody gets off in this town 

Trains don't even slow down

My high school sweetheart's married and gone

They met on a bus to San Antone 

The Greyhound stops and somebody gets on

But nobody gets off in this town 



Nobody gets off in this town 

Old folks 'round here wear a frown

Now let me see if I can set the scene 

It's a one-dog town and he's old and mean 

There's one stoplight but it's always green 

Nobody gets off in this town 



Nobody gets off in this town 

High school colors are brown 

They can't drag Main because it kicks up dust

Their cars and their dreams are all starting to rust

The high school dances are always a bust 

Nobody gets off in this town 



Nobody gets off in this town

They oughta just tear it down 

'Cause in the winter you freeze, and in the summer you fry

Utility bill's the only thing that gets high 

I'd go for a drink but this county is dry 

Nobody gets off, nobody gets off 

Nobody gets off in this square old merry-go-round 

No, nobody gets off in this town
