Sam’s Town Kevin Welch (Ft. The Overtones)

[Verse]
Sam never believed that he could ever be
Anything special to anyone
But he didn't mind 'cause he was the kind
Who could get along fine with everyone
He had a job at the Texaco
If were a stranger and things were slow
He'd be glad to put it all down
Take you out, show you around
Sam's town

[Verse]
You know old Sam had a little bit of land
A quarter section or so
But the creek ran shallow and the fields lay fallow
'Cause he couldn't get a thing to grow
So when the land man camе to his trailer that night
Talking 'bout percentagеs and mineral rights
It didn't take long for the deal to go down
They were sinking a drilling rig deep in the ground
Sam's ground

[Chorus]
Ain't life funny, ain't life strange
Ain't it amazing how life can change?
It came rushing like a big black bull
They were piping it out by the barrelful
Pretty soon the word got around
Down in Sam's town
