This Town Lyrics - Roger Miller

Well if you ever want to get depressed just come to this town 

Nothing to do from dinner to breakfast in this town 

Four street lights and one old grocery I ain't long to stay here no siree 

I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town 

I've seen towns but no town's as bad as this town 

It don't take long to feel lowdown in this town 

Soon cotton's gone opened up and I'm gonna pick it 

Just long enough to make enough to buy myself a ticket 

I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town 

Here I stand on the dusty road leavin' this town 

A hoping that dog ain't got a full load leavin' this town 

The state built new routes just for travel they got the pavement and we got the gravel 

That's the reason everythin's dying around here in this town 

Well there's lots of sunshine very little hay in this town 

The mail don't run but every other day in this town 

Four street lights and one old grocery I ain't long to stay here no siree 

I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town 

Well we don't reap we don't sow in this town 

Things are so bad that the weeds won't grow in this town 

One two three four five six seven this town can go to one place I'm goin' to heaven 

I'm bound to catch the next greyhound leavin' this town
