Nobody gets off in this town   Trains don't even slow down   My high school sweetheart's married and gone   They met on a bus to San Antone      The Greyhound stops, somebody gets on   But nobody gets off in this town      Nobody gets off in this town   Old folks 'round here wear a frown   Now let me see if I can set the scene   It's a one-dog town and he's old and mean      There's one stop light but it's always green   Nobody gets off in this town      Nobody gets off in this town   High school colors are brown   They can't drag Main because it kicks up dust   Their cars and their dreams are all starting to rust      The high school dances are always a bust   Nobody gets off in this town      Nobody gets off in this town   They oughta just tear it down   'Cause in the winter, you freeze   And in the summer, you fry      Utility bill's the only thing that gets high   I'd go for a drink but this county is dry      Nobody gets off   Nobody gets off   Nobody gets off in this square, old merry-go-round   No, nobody gets off in this town
