Verse 2:

There ain't much going on here since they closed the mill

That whistle still blows everyday at noon

A bunch of us still go down to the diner

Wonder if that interstate's still comin' through

But come Sunday mornin' service at the Church of Christ

Well there ain't an empty seat to be found

REPEAT CHORUS

Instrumental: D G Em A (x2)

Verse 3:

Well I bought and painted up that rusty tractor

You can't miss it, it's sitting right there in our yard

The county came and took that water tower

And that's Jenny with a baby in the car

Well we're off to Sunday service at the Church of Christ

And if we want a seat we better leave right now
