The Junction IGA....

I worked every day since high school Lord

at the Junction IGA

I watched the economy slowing down.

and my friends and neighbors pay..

I watched the school kids getting wet

because they can't afford a roof

I watched the Goverment spend money

In every country on this Earth..

there's a flag on my front lawn

it's just blowing in the wind

makes me wonder where we're going

makes me think of where we've been.

the facotry's in Ross county

Ain't hired in 5 years

there ain't much work going on

round here my friend,.....

Last night i was sacking groceries

talking to a Johnson twin

when the front door busted open

and a man with a gun came in

as i looked down the barrel

of that pistol in his hand/

I saw the fear in his eyes

as he made his demand..

Lord it was like a nightmare

a nighmare straight from hell

he looked like someone i once knew

but i really couldn't tell..

the factory's in Ross county

Ain't hired in 5 years

ain't much work going on

round here my friend,

today the front page of the paper

showed him laying on the floor

says i took a gun and shot him

when he turned towards the door.

i swear i can't remember

can't remember what i done

but something in me's lost

something in me is gone.

Lord it was like a night mare

a night mare straight from hell

he looked like someone i once knew

but i really couldn't tell....

today the story on the news cast

shows the mayor of our fine town

he's standing with a shovel

ready to break new ground.

their building a new prision

bringing 30 new jobs this way

the town folk say its good news

i say "it's time to pray..".

behind the mayor there's a flag

it's blowing in the wind

makes me wonder where we're going

makes me think of where we've been.

the factories in ross county

ain't hired in 5 years

there ain't much work going on

round here my friend.

no there ain't much work going on round here my friend....
