Well the window's busted and that truck don't hardly run no more
been left out in the rain, the rust ate clean right through the floor
clutch gets stuck when you try to shift the gears
that's no different than anything around here, around here
Well she runs on diesel not on gasoline, the wheels of progress they turn slow in this machine,
this broke down palace that we like to call a home
well that truck don't hardly run no more but at least it's our own, our own
The steeple stands high, the people lie low
Every 5 miles there's a farm and a silo being torn down
If you listen closely what you're hearing mostly is the sound
something obscene
Grinding wheels, the halting deals in this machine
the grinding wheels, the halting deals in this machine
Well the boys I went to school with now old beyond their age
It's a quiet sort of nondescript, sinking sort of rage
They stayed behind to live a country kind of life
To till the land become a man and find a wife
Oh but equity and industry and trucks that run on gas
They don't coexist around here or at least they don't last
Not much here for anyone who cannot subdivide
Then parcel out and sell again, sell again and buy
Oh, the wheels of progress they turn slow but they do turn
Right now I want to light a fire with anything that will burn
The steeple stands high the people lie low
Every 5 miles there's a farm and a silo being torn down
I come from your average every day all American town
Yeah I come from your average every day all American town
I come from your average every day all American town.
