Tennessee
I met a young woman in a diner one daySomewhere in TennesseeShe asked me what I wantedAnd she brought me my breakfast of biscuits, gravy and coffeeI saw the for sale sign in the windowAnd I asked her how come, what forShe said you can see they way this town's goneBy the boards on every door'Cause the company came and it wentAnd I guess they reached their goalUsed to be a beautiful mountain hereNow there's just a pile of coalAnd everywhere you look you can seeThe countryside they stoleThe biggest tree in this old forestIs a telephone poleShe said this used to be a company townNot so very long agoNow the most common car that you seeHas a U-Haul trailer in towIt's so sad to watch a townGrow up just for it to fall apartTo think of all the good and the hard times we hadIt's enough to break my heartLetras de canciones'Cause the company came and it wentAnd I guess they reached their goalUsed to be a beautiful mountain hereNow there's just a pile of coalAnd everywhere you look you can seeThe countryside they stoleThe biggest tree in this old forestIs a telephone poleThe only thing worse than the company being hereWas watching it say goodbyeYou know we had to fight do damn hardJust to get a little piece of the pieBut there's nothing left here for me nowBut memories and things gone wrongDon't know where I'll goAll I know is I'm gone'Cause the company came and it wentAnd I guess they reached their goalUsed to be a beautiful mountain hereNow there's just a pile of coalAnd everywhere you look you can seeThe countryside they stoleThe biggest tree in this old forestIs a telephone pole From Letras Mania
