INTRO: G D C G D This was a town took care of it's own C That's what me and my children have known G I worked the mill the way my parents did Bm I remember this town when I was a kid C Sitting through the movies twice G Open windows late at night D Slipping out in the summer heat C To meet John Miller in the middle of the street CHORUS: G They laid a highway a few years back D Next town over by the railroad track C Some nights, I'm glad it passed us by G D C G Some nights, I sit and watch my hometown die D '55 when the mill burned down C I wasn't much past a pretty young gal G The boss lit a match in the oily night Cops never had enough to set it right Bm So while the company traded with our lives C G We were busy watching that slow moon rise D Dancing on the high grass ridge C Making love down by the Cedar County Bridge CHORUS: G They laid a highway a few years back D Next town over by the railroad track C Some nights, I'm glad it passed us by G D C G Some nights, I sit and watch my hometown die INSTRUMENTAL: G D C G D C G D They never came to tear that old place down C They roped it off, but you can walk around G See the rust on the painted doors Bm Watch the rain fall through the burned out floors C This was a town took care of it's own G This was a town doing fine all alone The mill got out a quarter to five D C You could eat supper with any family you liked CHORUS: G They laid a highway a few years back D Next town over by the railroad track C Some nights, I'm glad it passed us by G D C Some nights, I sit and watch this little town die__, die__ OUTRO: G D C G D C G
