This old town
has got me down
from Susanville to here
this old town
has got me down livin it year after year
this old town's really got me down
blankets and beds
we work our souls at night
with visions of life so clear
never to see a light so bright
now its all so clear
this hotel's really got me down
the old train pushin up the track
heading for the great divide
haulin freight and folks for a hundred years
will it come to survive?
this old trains really got me down
people you see
walking down the street
faces you don't recognize
black eyes staring down on me
people just dont realize
the people in this town have got me down
