lyrics

At least the house stays warm when it’s ten below

And Sarah’s cooking in the front room to the morning show and
When it’s over I’ll clean the gutters and I’ll rehearse the news

Then I’ll burn out and look at you

What else is there to do?



Except to throw the hammer around

Since the plant closed down

There’s not much to do now but we keep trying anyhow

Like walking the abandoned roads I used to grind

Well now you get me overtime

Next year I’ll do us right


Hard as silver, hair like pine

I’m fine loving you all the time

Let’s sing that worn song just one more time

And I’ll shine

Like the lights of a town in decline

The lights of a town in decline
I’ll bring candles, we can celebrate

The paper plates are fine



Yeah we had no money and paid no mind, you know how this one ends
The road wasn’t closed and the country seemed open

Then we had kids…

I told a friend in need stay poor in all but company

And you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine

We did not mean to stay here, it did not fit our pride

But nothing you could say to me could make me leave this town behind
I’m going out, I’m taking you with me

I’m gonna climb the road salt pile on Bridge Street

It’s a beauty, well

Happy Birthday, Sarah Lee
