Dirty Town Lyrics

[00:18.42] Don't like livin' in a dirty town
[00:20.19] Don't like livin' in a dirty town
[00:22.15] I don't like livin' in a dirty town
[00:24.31] 'Cause a dirty town gets me down

[00:27.30] I saved up and I bought some land
[00:28.66] 'Cause I can't stand livin' in a dirty town
[00:30.87] Yeah, I pinched my pennies and I put 'em down
[00:33.14] And I washed my hands of a dirty town

[00:35.58] Plant my seeds in the ground
[00:37.35] Yeah, I put 'em down in my new-found land
[00:39.31] 'Cause you can't plant seeds in a dirty town
[00:41.11] No, you can't plant seeds in a dirty town

[00:44.11] I choppin' firewood, choppin' firewood
[00:47.04] Chop-chop-chop
[00:51.12] Just like a country boy should be choppin' wood

[00:52.25] My kindling sticks are the perfect little width
[00:55.22] Kindling sticks

[00:56.33] Get gone from a dirty town, get gone from a dirty town
[00:59.42] Everybody now!

[01:02.05] Get gone from a dirty town
[01:03.49] Ah-ah-ah

[01:04.82] Ah-ah-ah-all I need is a chicken wire and a chicken feed
[01:08.42] And ah-ah-ah-ah-all I see is a new-found land fertility, yeah!

[01:12.93] My lady friend, oh, she don't need to pretend
[01:16.01] She country
[01:17.06] She cracks the crack of dawn with her crackin' whip
[01:19.89] Crackity
[01:20.97] We havin' fun just makin' little chillun
[01:23.98] Ch-chillun

[02:05.91] We get along singin' good ol' country songs
[02:08.87] Ol' Guthrie
[02:10.11] My bank account is a shoebox in the ground
[02:12.79] And empty

[02:13.87] Get gone from a dirty town
[02:15.47] Get gone from a dirty town
