Lyrics
The sun is hanging low on the skyline
On this sleepy old Ohio town
The people think that change is the devil
So the sun is not allowed to go down
And the drivers eyes are glued to the rearview
Cuz his car is always in reverse
And if you race to where you've already been, then
You are always gonna get there first
Welcome to the town of the sundown
Welcome to the town of the sundown
Welcome to the land that time forgot
Welcome to the town of the sundown
Welcome to the town of the sundown
It sure ain't much, but it's the only town I've got
Every time I open the paper
To the letters to the editor page
The trogolodytes who can't keep their mouths shut
They've really got me in a fumin' rage
This self-appointed king of the virtues
Trying to sell us what we threw away
He's a dumpster-diving prophet
He could rule the USA
Welcome to the town of the sundown
Welcome to the town of the sundown
Welcome to the land that time forgot
Welcome to the town of the sundown
Welcome to the town of the sundown
It sure ain't much, but it's the only town I've got
So this is what our children inherit
It's what our parents left behind for us
The trophies from our grandpa's old basement
With a thicker coat of rust and dust
I guess there's nothing left to discover
So let's just park our cars and rest
Cuz the mission here's accomplished
Don't it feel like a success?
