There’s not a lot to do in this town
All of the factories are shutting down
They all went to Mexico and they an’t ever coming back
Left me here on the wrong side of the track
Broken windows and locked gates seem to litter all around
There’s not a lot to do in this town
There’s not a lot to do in this town
All of the good ones are in the ground
They all went to war and died, left there families behind
Others came back for suicide,
A few walk these cobbled streets, seem there feeling kind of down
There’s not a lot to do in this town
Oh, watch the sun goes down in the western sky
It’s just the harsh light in our eyes,
A cold north wind is blowing, covers us with dust,
Nothing here but faded dreams and rust
There’s not much to do in this town,
Just a bar on the corner where we drink our sorrows down
There’s church here every Sunday and a few folks go to pray
But most of us think God has moved away.
If I was to be born again, and Jesus came on down,
He wouldn’t find anything in this town
There’s not much to do in this town
This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner

Heard this on WNCW today and listened on repeat all day. Had to buy the vinyl and show my support. This is gonna be my summer 2020 album and I’m perfectly fine with that. Great work and look forward to the streams later this month. Find the podcast from Southern Songs & Stories about the band and album. mrsoulmarkj
