See my lonely town, factory smoke winding 'round
Backstreets take me down, take me homeward
...Lonely Town

Nobody sees the young man playing songs before the dawn
He works so hard all night long
He's here and then he's gone...gone...gone...

See my lonely town...put my hopes in the ground
I dreamed they closed you down
Take me homeward....Lonely Town

(SOLO)

I dreamed they closed you down
All your hopes are in the ground
You can't blame this lonely town...

See my lonely town, factory smoke winding 'round
Backstreets take me down, take me homeward
...Lonely Town
