Hicktown

In the style of

"Tennessee" Ernie Ford

Lyrics

one fillin' station
where nobody stops
a general store
and a barber shop

we had
a picture show
but it burned down
and everybody
calls this a
hicktown

everybody
calls this a
hicktown

the population
changes
when a new baby cries
and it don't
change again
'till somebody dies

there's a train
through at noon
but it don't even
slow down
just whistles
when it passes this
hicktown

can't wait
to get through this
hicktown

old buford
tried to leave but
he didn't get far
he waited three days
tryin' to thumb him
a car

but the only one
that passed
it like to
run him down
so he's back
pickin' cotton in this
hicktown

naw he's
never gonna
leave this
hicktown

one fillin' station
where nobody stops
a general store
and a barber shop

we had
a picture show
but it burned down
and everybody
calls this a
hicktown

everybody
calls this a
hicktown

on saturday night
we all dress up fine
everybody stays up
why till eight or nine

we walk
up the street
and then
walk back down
that's saturday night
in a hicktown

ah we really
live it up
in a hicktown

but it's
kinda nice to know
that if your crops
are lean
there's a neighbor
to share his grits
and his beans

and when you
really need a friend
there's a
friend around
'cause that's how it is
in a hicktown

you bet
we take care our own
in a hicktown

well we've got
one fillin' station
where nobody stops
a general store
and a barber shop

we had
a picture show
but it burned down
and everybody
calls this a
hicktown

everybody
calls this a
hicktown

well we've got
one fillin' station
where a-nobody stops
a general store
and a barber shop

we had
a picture show
but it burned down
and everybody
calls this a
hicktown

everybody
calls this a
hicktown
