lyrics

They’re paving all the dirt roads
But they left this one alone
My trailer’s at the dead end
But it’s no place to call home
Shrimp boats and oil fields
The only jobs still around
When the tourists all pack up
And forget this little town
Winter months bring boredom
Until sun shines again
So I’m cooking up distraction
Until the payday ends

Yeah, this is just another small town
Where the edges get so hard to reach
Wasted away all my best years
Living out here on this crystal beach

Cough syrup and match books
Coffee filters, starter spray
It takes a special kind of poison
To survive this day to day
At the end of my dirt road
The heat never gets too high
Sheriff’s got bigger problems
Like the run-off this July
And momma keeps the children
But they never want or need
She hides behind her bible
Blocking things she shouldn’t see

Yeah, this is just another small town
Where the edges get so hard to reach
Wasted away all my best years
Living out here on this crystal beach

When a man gets greedy
Something’s always going wrong
A zig when you should zag
One spark and it’s all gone
Flames lit the night sky
If there’s a maker, we woulda met
Momma told the children
I fell asleep with a cigarette

Yeah, this is just another small town
Where the edges get so hard to reach
Wasted away all my best years
Living out here on this crystal beach
