NOTHIN GOIN ON
IN COMPANY TOWN
JUST A FEW PEOPLE
STANDIN AROUND
THERE USED TO BE A FACTORY
UP ON THE HILL
THEY’RE TEARIN IT DOWN
TEARIN IT DOWN
DADDY GOT A JOB
A NEW LITTLE HOUSE
BACK WHEN THEY BUILT
THIS LITTLE TOWN
HE WORKED REAL LONG
THEY GAVE HIM A CARD
FOR THE COMPANY STORE
IN COMPANY TOWN
THERE USED TO BE A FACTORY
UP ON THE HILL
THEY’RE TEARIN IT DOWN
TEARIN IT DOWN
TAKE A LITTLE DRIVE
ALL THROUGH THE SOUTH
FROM THE SANDHILLS DOWN
TO THE RIVERS MOUTH
YOU CAN’T COUNT
ALL THE LITTLE TOWNS
WHERE THE BIG BOYS SHUT
THE FACTORIES DOWN
THERE USED TO BE A FACTORIES
USED TO BE MILLS
THEY’RE TEARIN EM DOWN
TEARIN EM DOWN
DRIVE ON PAST
THE BORDER TOWNS
FOLLOW THE TRAIL TO
THE BIG BLACK CLOUD
IT ‘LL BLOW YOUR MIND
HOW THEY CRANK IT OUT
THAT’S WHERE THEY MOVED
OUR COMPANY TOWN
THERE USED TO BE A FACTORY
UP ON THE HILL
THEY’RE TEARIN IT DOWN
TEARIN IT DOWN
THERE USED TO BE A FACTORY
UP ON THE HILL
THEY’RE TEARIN IT DOWN

FOR A NEW LITTLE TOWN
NOTHIN GOIN ON IN COMPANY TOWN
JUST A FEW PEOPLE STANDIN AROUND
NOTHIN GOIN ON IN COMPANY TOWN
