Nasty Little Scar of a Town

Lyrics by Barry Clark
Arranged by Big Dumb Animals
It's just a nasty little scar of a town,
Ten miles off the freeway where the trees blew down;
Suspicion lives here, mistrust abounds,
It's just a nasty little scar of a town.
How did you get here? You just got lost,
Four taverns and a stop sign where the two streets cross;
Folks here drink pounders and taunt out-of-towners,
It's just a nasty little scar of a town.
Chorus:
Single-wides up on jacks, rusty cars and shotgun shacks,
A barking dog's the only greeting here;
Country hospitality replaced by veiled hostility,
Y'all come back now, ya hear!
The county sheriff, he rarely comes around.
It wouldn't hurt his feelings if it all burned down.
"I can't protect what I don't respect."
It's just a nasty little scar of a town.
Another one in Barry's inimitable style... this tune fookin' rocks, if I do say so myself! One of the most polished tracks to come out of the 5 Cocktail sessions...
