Metropolis Lyrics - Songs About Me - Trace Adkins

Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town 

Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow 

One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet 

Both police cars came, but I got away 

It was a boom town back in'62, 'til the coal ran out 

And a drought came through, and they dammed the river 

That we all used to fish 

Population 405 and I made it 404 one night 

And left the city limit sign layin' in the ditch 

Run plumb over it, leavin' Metropolis 

Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard 

It ain't safe after dark, guess this ol' boy drove too far 

Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May 

Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place 

Where we can walk down to the country store 

And we won't even have to lock our door 

We can still get air and water there for free 

She said that sounds good to me
