Have you been down to Tin Town Where dreams in cans once were drowned? A snag somewhere in someone's life Caught him there, pulled him to strife A bottle here, and there are left Many broken, the air is deaf With non-understanding vows Remember tears upon their brows In Tin Town, has-been town Tin Town, has-been town A tiny flag upon a mast Where camp-town children played in past A river winding through the trees Banks eroded, extreme degrees Once a place to be baptized When pentecostal need arise A shank or two with rotted plank A fish or two, their eyes are blank In Tin Town, has-been town Tin Town, has-been town Well, I been down to Tin Town Where once a boy I did fall down And cut my arm on piled up junk I wrapped it up and I hailed a drunk He carried me three miles to home Where daddy said I was cut to the bone The doctor washed his hands and said Five more minutes, the boy'd been dead Down where people lose their heads In Tin Town, has-been town Tin Town, has-been town, I know you well Well, I live here in Tin Town Not many people come around When when they do I smile at them And say, hello, it's a mighty hot day Can you spare a man a dime? I got thirty cents and I can buy some wine I'm livin' in my childhood schemes Please, mister, you can make my dreams (You can make my dreams) In Tin Town, has-been town Tin Town, has-been town It's my home, it's my home It's my home, it's my home |
