Optional

Lyrics

Written by: Michael McNevin

Courthouse can't afford a gavel
Up a tree without a paddle
Can't pave a street with glue and gravel
Can't get cable on a radar range

And all the horses that we beat to death
We coulda rode 'em but we sold the saddles
But we're gonna get ourselves a brand new plaza
This town is gonna change, This town is gonna change

I hear it's gonna have a water fountain, Bring a little made up rain
It might cost a fortune but look who's countin'
This town is gonna change, This town is gonna change

They're goin' wifi at the cafe', even the cows are excited
well it'll feel just like Hawaii when they widen all the lanes
Pick ups turn to Porches
Tire kickers turn high rollers
Like five dogs playin' poker, For years they all had mange

A mans best friend at 2 a m, I own the dog that bit me
It's been one long demolition derby
But this town is gonna change, This town is gonna change

The kids study and they walk ok
And they chew a good hillbilly slang
And they can hit a ball through the window of a mini mall
Run through amber ways of playin'
But they're star struck by the movin' trucks
They can do without a junk food chain
Cement dries in a new train station
When no one's looking they can write their names
When no one's looking they can write their names
Look at me I'm a dinosaur
I drive slow like I did before
By the vacancy sign of the Belvoire Springs
Gaslight rainbow at the other end
This town is gonna change, This town is gonna change
