This Town - Roger Miller

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 as bad as this town

It don’t take you long to feel lowdown in this town

Soon the cotton’s gonna open 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

Hopin' that dog ain’t got a full load leavin' this town

The state built new access for travel

They got the pavement 'n we got the gravel

That’s the reason everything’s dying round here

In this town

We got very little sunshine day to day 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 the weeds won’t grow in this town

This town can go the other place I’m going to heaven

I’m bound to catch the next Greyhound

Leavin' this town
