Laid A Highway - Tift Merritt[00:00:00]

This was a town took care of it's own[00:00:09]

That's what me and my children have known[00:00:14]

I worked the mill the way my parents did[00:00:18]

I remember this town when I was a kid[00:00:22]

Sitting through the movies twice[00:00:26]

Open windows late at night[00:00:31]

Slipping out in the summer heat[00:00:35]

To meet John Miller in the middle of the street[00:00:39]

They laid a highway a few years back[00:00:44]

Next town over by the railroad track[00:00:48]

Some nights I'm glad it passed us by[00:00:52]

Some nights I sit and watch my hometown die[00:00:57]

I'm fifty-five and when the mill burned down[00:01:09]

I wasn't much past a pretty young gal[00:01:13]

Boss lit a match in the oily night[00:01:17]

Cops never had enough to set it right[00:01:22]

So while the company traded with our lives[00:01:25]

We were busy watching that slow moon rise[00:01:30]

Dancing on the dry grass bridge[00:01:35]

Making love down by the Cedar County Bridge[00:01:39]

They laid a highway a few years back[00:01:43]

Next town over by the railroad track[00:01:48]

Some nights I'm glad it passed us by[00:01:52]

Some nights I sit and watch my hometown die[00:01:56]

They never came to tear that old place down[00:02:26]

They roped it off but you can walk around[00:02:30]

See the rust on the painted doors[00:02:35]

Watch the rain fall through the burned out floors[00:02:39]

This was a town took care of it's own[00:02:43]

This was a town doing fine all alone[00:02:47]

The mill got out a quarter to five[00:02:52]

You could eat supper with any family you liked[00:02:56]

They laid a highway a few years back[00:03:01]

Next town over by the railroad track[00:03:05]

Some nights I'm glad it passed us by[00:03:09]

Some nights I sit and watch my hometown die[00:03:13]
