Well a buzzard is perched on the damnAhh ah ah ah ahanAnd I'm leaving this town nownAhh ah ah nnWell the store I used to work fornby the tracksnSells shotgun shells and gasoline nout the backnWell a train blew by last monthsnas I recallnThat conductor would not wave tonme at allnnThere's a shed up underneath the water towernI hear strange sounds comin' out now at all hoursnThe day I finally got the nerve to look inside....nI saw animals hangin', skinned and tiednnChorusnnWell I put one ear of corn in my potnAnd I boil and I eat it on the spotnWell I wash the pot and I put it right back up...right next to the spatulannOne night I was home readin' about the warnWhen I heard a foot step up on the porchnWell I got up slow and I pulled the shades asidenAnd I saw nothin' but a porch and the nightnnChorusnnn
