Song Lyrics

The welcome sign is missin' an "O"
From a teenage twelve gauge shotgun hole
Been on the county's list of things, not to fix
For ten years now nothin' happens in this town

You gotta cross the line to get a drink
'Cause this one's dry and that one ain't
Yeah, you might wind up on a jail house bunk
You'll get out, nothin' happens in this town

Happens every time you turn around
We all know Joe could have gone pro
When he fills your tank, he'll tell you so
You don't see Jimmy when he ain't stoned
The girl next door's six months along, waitin' on a Greyhound
That's what happens when nothin' happens in this town

Last Saturday night I guess Sara got bored
'Cause I got further than I got before
I ain't supposed to tell but what the hell
I'm sick of how nothin' happens in this town

Happens every time you turn around
We all know Joe could have gone pro
When he fills your tank, he'll tell you so
You don't see Jimmy when he ain't stoned
The girl next door's six months along, waitin' on a Greyhound
That's what happens when nothin' happens in this town

Nothin' happens in this town

Happens every time you turn around
We all know Joe could have gone pro
When he fills your tank, he'll tell you so
You don't see Jimmy when he ain't stoned
The girl next door's six months along, waitin' on a Greyhound
That's what happens when nothin' happens in this town

Nothin' happens in this town
Hey Joe, what's happenin'?
