[00:05.90] This old town should've burned down in 1929
[00:09.24]
[00:10.80] That's when we stood in line
[00:12.46]
[00:13.48] Waiting for our soup
[00:15.00]
[00:15.92] Swallowing our pride
[00:18.43] And This old town should've burn down in 1931
[00:22.37]
[00:23.32] When the rain refused to come
[00:25.18]
[00:26.19] Air filled up our bellies, dust filled up our lungs
[00:30.76] And we thought our time had come
[00:34.17]
[00:35.68] And This old town was built by hand
[00:39.63]
[00:40.95] In the dust bowl of the motherland
[00:45.63]
[00:48.56] There must be rock beneath this sand
[00:52.11]
[00:53.24] Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
[00:59.31]
[01:03.59] This old town should've burned down in 1944
[01:07.31]
[01:08.37] When the last men went to war
[01:10.31]
[01:11.58] They came back different
[01:13.79] If they came back at all
[01:15.84]
[01:16.38] This old town should've burned down in 1956
[01:20.26]
[01:21.51] That's when the twister hit
[01:22.95]
[01:23.91] And all our hopes were buried
[01:26.62] Beneath the boards and bricks
[01:28.69] And we almost called it quits
[01:32.18]
[01:33.66] This old town was built by hand
[01:37.97]
[01:38.94] In the dust bowl of the motherland
[01:43.97]
[01:46.55] There must be rock beneath this sand
[01:50.13]
[01:51.15] Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
[01:57.16]
[02:01.45] Somewhere in the distance
[02:04.01] The city lights do shine
[02:05.67]
[02:06.25] The sidewalks gleam with neon dreams
[02:09.18] That call from time to time
[02:10.87]
[02:11.69] When my children's children
[02:13.68] Ask me why didn't I go
[02:15.72]
[02:16.49] They say the heart of any town
[02:18.26]
[02:19.13] Is the people that you've known
[02:21.54] They'll always call you home
[02:25.03]
[02:26.53] This old town was built by hand
[02:30.26]
[02:31.65] In the dust bowl of the motherland
[02:37.19]
[02:39.41] There must be rock beneath this sand
[02:42.87]
[02:43.94] Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
[02:50.30]
