I've got half a mind to waste a lifetime
With the blinds all open
And neighbours waving
And the bluejays ready to hatch
When the clouds pile up
And the church bells ring
And the movers laying down in the grass
You can't clean up or down in the hell of this town
You can't clean up or down in the hell of this town

Remember when this whole place was tired of sunshine
And there wasn't no rain for 18 weeks
And the dust spilled into the cracks
And when the storms all came we stood outside
And man we felt alive
Alive and well enjoying hell in this town

I thought of you at Sonny's Bar
And I drank to your health
Like somebody else was paying the tab
Until the clock rolled over
And the lights came on
And the band spilled into the cab
And I was left alone to face the night time

When the sun comes up I'm going to make you mine
And show you off around to the folks in this town

I will show you off around the folks of this town
