If I could go down now
While the whole town is sleeping
See the sun creeping up on the hill
I know the river and the railroad
Would run through the valley still

I guess it never was much to look at
Just a one-horse town
The kind of place young people want to leave today
Store fronts pretty much boarded up
Main Street pretty much closed down

The church bell still rings on Sunday
Old folks still go
The young ones listen on the radio
Saturday night nothing but a stray dog running wild
Like nobody's child

And little by little, light after light
That's how it died
They say you never go home again
That's no lie
Its like a letter in the mail
To a brother in jail
It's a matter of time
Until you can do a little bit better time

It used to be part of the heartland
Awful proud and strong
But deep, deep down peaceful and serene
When people used to talk about the country
That's what they used to mean

I might go down come the weekend
Go on my own
Drop off Annie and the baby
Maybe drive alone
Pay my last respects to a time
That has all but gone

We said, Mama come look at the mountain
Fire in the sky
It's lit up like the Fourth of July
The mill burning down
The jobs leaving town
The trains rolling by
And little by little, light after light
That's how it died
They say you never go home again
That's no lie
It's just a letter in the mail
To a brother in jail
It's a matter of time
Until you can do a little bit better time

  • September Grass
    "Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today

  • On the 4th of July
    "Shall I tell it again how we started as friends
    who would run into one another now and again.
    At the Yippee Cai O or the Mesa Dupree, or a dozen different everyday places to be.
    I was living alone, we were ever so brave on the telephone...."
  • Belfast To Boston

    There are rifles buried in the countryside for the rising of the moon
    May the lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the ground
    Who will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an end..."
