lyrics

When the Company Left Town Terry Morrison © 2007
In every driveway here’s a pickup truck
No older than fifteen years if you’ve had some luck
Four good tires and a four wheel drive
Kept in good tune it’ll get you home alive
And since you never have to drive too many miles
A V8 tank is gonna last awhile
Got a plow front to clear out the drive
A come-a-long put to use from time to time
I bought this truck when I first came to town
Ain’t been driving much so she’s starting slow
Dry out the plugs and maybe then she’ll go
It’s the end of the season and the stocks are down
Time to take a trip up to the next town
I bought my house when the company left town
Do some good to blow the carbon out
Maybe look up Dave and see if he’s about
Get a cup of coffee catch up on the news
Been sitting still too long and it’s time to shake it loose
Come on and shake it loose
She’s a good truck but she’s rusting in spots
I’ll take the grinder to her when it gets a little hotter
I got some new paint and some primer too
Wasn’t too hard to match this shade of blue
I bought this truck when I first came to town
These days she sits in the drive
And I walk most places just to keep alive
Sitting in the middle of paradise
Don’t need to go anywhere
‘Cause I bought my house when the company left town
Yeah I bought this house when the company first left town.
