Little Touch and Go

Scent of rust mixes with distilled barley
Another day is winding down
To wet your whistle it might seem a little early
Only way to wash this poison down
Land of hope and dreams
Things we read in magazines
I’ll get home early, I’ll sleep it all away
But nothing hides in the light of day
Seeking greener pastures, trying to put things right
Will the last one out of town please turn out the light?

Yeah, a place in the sun it’s a little touch and go boy
A place in the sun, it’s a little touch and go
A place in the sun it’s a little touch and go boy
A place in the sun, it’s a little touch and go

Looked like my home-town, oh way back when
People with a half century not looking more than ten
Saying “What will I do when the jobs get shipped away?”
“When I give up on seeing better days”
They took more than was allowed
Wake up son the future’s now
To solve the problem they say they’ll bring all they can bring
People with power always say the same damn things 
Yeah they do

Yeah, a place in the sun it’s a little touch and go boy
A place in the sun, it’s a little touch and go
A place in the sun it’s a little touch and go boy
A place in the sun, it’s a little touch and go
Na na na na na na na na na na
