Michelle Shocked - Hello Hopeville lyrics

Down at the Cold War Institute They were signing new recruits He went down to the station in his three piece suit Now she had cried for him to stay But there was nothing more to say As she was waving a white kerchief as the train pulled away Singing bye, bye baby boy I hope they treat you well, well, well It was another situation as the train left the station It was hello Hopeville I need a vacation Now the world's been cruel This time she really let me down I thought I'd go back to school Yeah, try to clean up this town And now it's hello Hopeville I know you're gonna treat me well, well, well Well, well, well Get gone! Well, well, well, looky here, looky here Well, well, well, what have we got here Got me a runaway kid Got no money never did Got the sense to come in out of the rain Uh, he was waitin' for a station just like some people wait for a train And I'm singing bye, bye baby boy I hope they treat you well, well, well Well, well, well Well, well, well Well, well, well
