lyrics

He worked in those plants his whole damn life
Like his father and his brother, it's where he met his wife
Building those cars that America loves to drive
Now that it's shutting down, how the hell is he gonna survive

They gave him a severance, but it ain't gonna last
Everybody's leave town, hope ran out real fast
The whole community gave themselves to that old place
Now that company is pulling out so fast, you'd think they're running a race

Used to love the look of those factory lights shining in the sky so bright
Feels like the world is gonna end on closing night
An honest days living used to be every man's right
Now life don't look so good on closing night

Now he's got to go home, look at the kids
Tell them the life they've know, well now it's on the skids
Walk the streets, the places where he grew
Knowing deep down in his heart the old place was through

Paper ran a story, got everyone asking why
No one can believe it, seems middle America is going to die
People losing homes and jobs at such an alarming rate
You can't beat the king, because they got you in check-mate

Used to love the look of those factory lights shining in the sky so bright
Feels like the world is gonna end on closing night
An honest days living used to be every man's right
Now life don't look so good on closing night

He worked in those plants his whole damn life
Like his father and his brother, it's where he met his wife
The whole community gave themselves to that old place
Now that company is pulling out so fast, you'd think they were running a race
