I need a ladder, take it to the top
Ssnakes always bring me down, bringing me down
One for the money, two for the show
All dressed up with nowhere to go,
In this old town.
Just another wrung before I come undone.
I'm sinking in this old town.
Dreamers to the canyon, liars to the hill
Diggers to the mine, go on get your fill, get your fill
Fantasies forgotten, left here for the squattin'
White picket fences laying on the ground, all around
Just another wrung before I come undone.
I'm sinking in this old town.
You bring the papers, I'll bring the letters
We'll take the pieces and sew 'em together,
Tales of time.
History in the making, chances are for taking,
You take yours and I'll take what's mine
We'll be alright.
Just another wrung before I come undone.
I'm sinking in this old town.
But I can linger here a little longer.
I'm home in this old town.
