Moving to the Edge of Town
i know a man about twelve feet tall came in the spring, left in the fall his sister was pretty, yeah quite a catch got hit by a train, didn't get a scratch and they've all moved over to the edge of town met a fellow named Bob at the rodeo he said i'd love to chat but i've got to go got a cousin who's being sworn in today they're making him king of east LA and we're all moving over to the edge of town then there was that lady from the north of Spain she was a gas but her mom was a pain had a brother who worked at the five and dime he sad i got the money but i don't have the time and they've all moved over to the edge of town Lucinda and her cousin and her cousin's friend used to stay on the corner, just round the bend they all used to hang at the donut shop and they all got married to the same fat cop and they've all moved over to the edge of town an old crop duster from Wounded Knee used to bring me biscuits and mushroom tea had a grandson living in Kalamazoo his plans for the evening kept falling through and they've all moved over to the edge of town now there's nothing but dust left on my shelf maybe i'll move to the edge myself will i stay, well that depends on whether all those people wanna be my friends and they've all moved over to the edge of town Copyright Samm Bennett - all rights reserved back to Lyrics Table of Contents |
