Hold This Town Together

[Verse 1]
I haven't been to church in years
This mornin' I think I might
Clear my guilty conscious
From what happened here last night
But last time I was back in this town
Drinking with old friends
I said it was the last time
Yeah, but here we go again

[Chorus]
And it's one more round for Randy
For Lois and for Vern
Pass the one-hitter, the Salmon River Quitter
Pass the flask of Janie's bourbon
I know everything's changing
And I know nothing lasts forever
God bless the folks that try so hard to hold this town together

[Verse 2]
Is Abigail sill slinging drinks down at the 219?
Is Dave staying late to shoot the breeze and keep her company?
Does she still think the good ol' days are when she was eighteen
Sittin' in her boyfriend's basement, high on methamphetamines

[Chorus]
And it's one more round for Randy
For Lois and for Vern
Pass the one-hitter, the Salmon River Quitter
Pass the flask of Janie's bourbon
I know everything's changing
And I know nothing lasts forever
God bless the folks that try so hard to hold this town together

[Verse 3]
Listenin' to this dive bar band and staring at my check
Last call was a while ago, but I ain't done drinking yet
I make my way down Lake Street in my old man's '65
With the same car full of loners that could never say goodnight

[Chorus]
And it's one more round for Randy
For Lois and for Vern
Pass the one-hitter, the Salmon River Quitter
Pass the flask of Janie's bourbon
I know everything's changing
And I know nothing lasts forever
God bless the folks that try so hard to hold this town together
God bless the folks that try so hard to hold this town together
