Here comes a ringing testimonial
Here comes the saddest song you've ever heard
From somewhere else, somewhere good
In a warehouse painted red
Around my house, around my table
And I will testify, testify when I'm able.
Everybody in this town is sleeping
Little Chalkie's gone out west to score
Pa**ing by the metho's gate she dropped something
'Cos our town doesn't stand there anymore
And my town, it is a teacher
All trucks and beers and memories spread out on the road
And my town is a leader of children
To where caution is a long wide load
Long wide load.
You love me good, you work me hard
Three letters and a smile on a little white card
Oh yay, oh yay, oh there you lay
Lying in the road on Debt Collectors day.
