The welcome sign is missin' an "O" From a teenage 12 gage shotgun hole Went on the county's list of things not to fix for ten years now Nothin' happens in this town You gotta cross the line to get a drink Cause this ones dry and that one ain't Ya you might wind up on a jail house bunk but you'll get out Nothin' happens in this town Chorus: Happens everytime you turn around We all know Joe coulda gone pro, When he fills your tank he'll tell you to use oil
You don't see Jimmie when he ain't stoned The girl next door is 6 months along, waitin' on a Greyhound That's what happens when Nothin' happens in this town Last Saturday night I guess Sara got bored Cause I got further than I got before I ain't suppose to tell but what the hell I'm sick of how Nothin' happens in this town Chorus: (repeat 2x) Nothin' happens in this town Hey Joe, what's happenin?
