A Town Called Hell
Written by Farrell Spence
All rights reserved.

I've got a transistor radio, a bottle of wine
What say we go and waste some time
On a riverbank park bench, you and I
Counting coins in our pockets and clouds in the sky
We could hit the highway and stick out a thumb
Fill our slurpees up with bargain rum
Head down to the water, take a walk on the tracks
Get a jump on a boxcar and never look back
but I'm a good fer nuthin, you're a n'ere do well
and nothing ever happens in a town called Hell.

CH:
And It's been 5 years since they shut us down
and the best of the rest have all left this town
I'd give my bottom dollar just to hear you say
That we'll stand a chance in this world someday

So grab your coat and hat and some fishing line
What say we go a spend some time
On a riverbank park bench, you and I
Skipping rocks on the river until dinner time
When we'll dig up your Daddy's old violin
We can sing those songs your momma used to sing
Oh Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That we once were lost and we could be found
but I'm a good fer nuthin, you're a n'ere do well
and nothing ever happens in a town called Hell.

I'm a good fer nuthin, you're a n'ere do well
and nothing ever happens in a town called Hell.
