THE UNDERSIDE OF TOWN

J. Heineman 3\94

Well, a river don't run through it
we ain't got no shoppin' mall
The EPA's condemned us
and we don't care at all

If you ever visit the Great North West
an your travellin' by the train
You probably saw our little town
RUSTON is it's name

When you go through Ruston tunnel
beside Commencement Bay
Our town look just the same at night
as it does
when it is day

What you see from your
AmTrack window is
the 'under-side' of town

It's the only place in the USA
that you can find around
that take just fifteen second
to see the 'under-side' of town

We used to have a smoke stack
that marked ol Ruston Town
But the EPA came along
an blew that sucker down

Now
About the only thing
we got left
is the 'underside' of town

We don't mind you a-visitin'
you're as welcome as you can be
As long as 'the underside of town'
is what you want to see.

We don't charge for lookin'
but it's a fact we cannot hide
It's the only place in the USA
you can see a town
from it's "underside"

Well, a river don't run through it
we ain't got no shoppin' mall
The EPA's condemned us
an we don't care at all.
