Jimmy Buffett "Ringling, Ringling" |
Ringling, ringling, slippin' away Only forty people livin' there today Streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down It's a dyin' little town Church windows broken, that place ain't been used in years Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell And electric trains, they run by maybe once or twice a month Easin' it on down to Mussel Shell Ringling, ringling, slippin' away Only forty people livin' there today 'Cause the streets are dusty and the bank had been torn down It's a dyin' little town And across from the bar there's a pile of beer cans Been there twenty-seven years Imagine all the heartaches and tears In twenty-seven years of beer So we hopped back in the rental car and we hit the cruise control Pretty soon the town was out of sight Tho we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy and a dog Racin' for a ringling Friday night Ringling, ringling, you're just slippin' away I wonder how many people will be there a year from today 'Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down It's a dyin' little town, it's a dyin' little town Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
