FACTORY TOWN 01:53
lyrics

Verse This used to be a factory town It made shoes so we could walk around Now it sits and waits to be torn down Chorus So Now we’re just left out and Now its all run down Were rubbed down to the bone With nowhere left to go Verse They sent our jobs away And didn’t feel one thing Despite fact they bled us Dry Bridge Things are cheaper, yes that true But they won’t last just like you empty houses broken cars Filled up churches and fuller bars The lies they sold in the 70s Poisoned my whole family tree Chorus So Now we’re just left out and Now its all run down Were rubbed down to the bone With nowhere left to go VERSE Relics of a past that offered a middle class Now that’s all gone And we all feel alone Chorus And we’re rubbed down to the bone With nowhere left to go Rubbed down to the bone With nowhere left to go

JOE HILL 02:45
lyrics

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me. Says I “But Joe, you’re ten years dead” “I never died” says he, “I never died” says he. “In Salt Lake City, Joe,” says I, Him standing by my bed, “They framed you on a murder charge,” Says Joe, “But I ain’t dead,” Says Joe, “But I ain’t dead.” “The Copper Bosses killed you Joe, they shot you Joe” says I. “Takes more than guns to kill a man” Says Joe “I didn’t die” Says Joe “I didn’t die” And standing there as big as life and smiling with his eyes. Says Joe “What they can never kill went on to organize, went on to organize” From San Diego up to Maine, in every mine and mill, Where workers strike and organize it’s there you’ll find Joe Hill, it’s there you’ll find Joe Hill! I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me. Says I “But Joe, you’re ten years dead” “I never died” says he, “I never died” says he. “I never died” says he. I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me. I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me. I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me.

Verse Thunder and lighting Broken hearts Whiskey and rye Losin my girl All feel the same A bit good and a bit more bad But we all hope That bottle’ll magically refill that lady turns around And the storm passes on Chorus The good the bad and all the rest I drank my way through it all The storms and the lightning Each day new and the same But it seems I’m always left here Alone On this island and bone dry Verse Stuck on an island of my makin Always seems to be my fault but I keep tryin to make the day Better than the last But it never seems to work out cause Chorus The good the bad and all the rest I drank my way through it all The storms and the lightning Each day new and the same But it seems I’m always left here Alone On this island and bone dry Verse But my life been filled with more storms than sunny days The beautiful girls, And The whisky and the pills keep Me Movin but at End of the day I’m left here Bone dry Chorus The good the bad and all the rest I drank my way through it all The storms and the lightning Each day new and the same But it seems I’m always left here Alone On this island and bone dry
