He's got a U.S. flag on his front porch
To remind everyone where he lives
And up in the attic
There are papers that prove the old house is finally his
After thirty-five years
The grass still don't grow
In that rock hard west Texas ground
Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town
Chorus:
Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front
Of a cafe that don't need a name
Where the old men rock
And the tumbleweeds roll
Past the boarded up windows down Main
Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign
At the drive-in where my innocence died
With a rusty advertisement dangling by a nail
Says "Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime"
And down at the depot where I left for good
There's a hobo with his three-legged hound
Waitin' for a train that no longer comes
To that old coyote town
To remind everyone where he lives
And up in the attic
There are papers that prove the old house is finally his
After thirty-five years
The grass still don't grow
In that rock hard west Texas ground
Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town
Chorus:
Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front
Of a cafe that don't need a name
Where the old men rock
And the tumbleweeds roll
Past the boarded up windows down Main
Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign
At the drive-in where my innocence died
With a rusty advertisement dangling by a nail
Says "Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime"
And down at the depot where I left for good
There's a hobo with his three-legged hound
Waitin' for a train that no longer comes
To that old coyote town
