There's something about the people that been hanging around this place There's something about these people that'd knock me off my face I'm never gonna turn my back on this town again No, I'm never gonna turn my back on this town again There's something about the shadows that been moving across the ground And somebody's got the time enough to hang everyone in town Somebody in the place has got a thousand feet of rope And if you line up everyone in town there ain't one inch of hope I'm never gonna turn my back on this town again No, I'm never gonna turn my back on this town again HARMONICA SOLO Half of the people in this town have already closed thir eyes And nobody's feet are touching the ground, and they're putting on neckties Well, nobody says a word about the ropes around their necks And everybody knows who won this time There ain't no need for a ballot check I'm never gonna turn my back on this town again No, I'm never gonna turn my back on this town again
