Doug Supernaw - Shut'er Down lyrics
Writers: Doug Supernaw/Justin White Parkview used to be just on the outside of town Now it's right in the middle of a city that's grown all round it And the old folks there just sit and stare at the walls Except for one crazy old man standin' there preachin' in the halls His old friend died last week so they let him go And his eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the shoulder And some punks drove by and yelled as he stood at the casket And he cussed this world that had gone to hell in a basket So he walked downtown with his cane pole Looking through the window of what used to be the drugstore Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life He heads on down to the fishin' hole and dreams about his hero Who took him there when he was three years old Same spot every day but don't need no bait cause it's dry Yes it's true that he's not quite all there but who cares Neither are the values that he's lived by for 90 years Just like his home town He's about to shut her down My views used to be just like those kids in that car Until I woke up one day thanks to a switch in the yard Now the old man's gone but his thoughts are livin' in me About the way this damned 'ol world is supposed to be So I walked downtown with his cane pole Looking through the window of what used to be the drugstore Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life Head on down to the fishin' hole and dream about my hero Who took me there when I was three years old Same spot every day but don't need no bait cause it's dry Yes it's true that I'm not quite all there but who cares Neither are the values that he taught me in 30 years Just like his home town He just had to shut her down And just like his home town He just finally shut her down |
