lyrics

Nobody goes downtown since the mill shut down
One last freight train headed south in the rain
You can't drink from the well when the river swells
I feel like I'm going to drown
In this old Mill Town

You can't hear a sound in the old fairground
Another rusted chain, broken window pane
Vacant lots don't sell at the closing bell
You can blame the poisoned ground
In this old Mill Town

No tailgate for the high school game
No Shriner's Parade
Ducks swim circles in the motel pool
Sure is a shame
Graffitied squares, unanswered prayers
It's all the same
Just another sundown in another Mill Town

They tore the theater down and the old school ground
All the young folks left except the ones on meth
Black creasote stains and broken weathervanes
All the folks drive around this old Mill Town

All the crooked clowns sold out this town
For the promise of gain to bare the mark of Cain
In the fires of hell they surely dwell
You wish you never found this old Mill Town

No tailgate for the high school game
No Shriner's Parade
Duck's swim circles in the motel pool
Sure is a shame
Graffitied squares, unanswered prayers
It's all the same
Just another sundown in another Mill Town

And the choir sings Halleluiah in another Mill Town
