The welcome sign is missin' an "O"
from a twelve gauge shotgun hole
Been on the county's list of things not to fix
for ten years now
nothin' happens in this town

you gotta cross the line to get a drink
'cause this one's dry and that one ain't
yeah, you might wind up on a jailhouse bunk
but you'll get out
nothin' happens in this town

It happens every time you turn around
we all know Joe could have gone pro
when he fills your tank he'll tell you so
you don't see Jimmy when he ain't stoned
the girl next dorr's six months along
waitin' on a Greyhound
that's what happens when
nothin' happens in this town

Last Saturday night I guess Sara got bored
'cause I got further than I got before
I ain't supposed to tell but what the hell
I'm sick of how
nothin' happens in this town

It happens every time you turn around
we all know Joe could have gone pro
when he fills your tank he'll tell you so
you don't see Jimmy when he ain't stoned
the girl next dorr's six months along
waitin' on a Greyhound
that's what happens when
nothin' happens in this town

Nothin' happens in this town

It happens every time you turn around
we all know Joe could have gone pro
when he fills your tank he'll tell you so
you don't see Jimmy when he ain't stoned
the girl next dorr's six months along
waitin' on a Greyhound
that's what happens when
nothin' happens in this town

Nothin' happens in this town

Hey Joe, What's happenin'?
