    Story Behind the Song
    Written for all of the towns that have had their rail line or highway cut away by big city businessmen. Sometimes they just don't understand the effect they can have.

    Lyrics
    LONELY, LONELY TOWN – BILLY BRIDGE 8/4/2001

    V1:
    USED TO BE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TOWN
    WINTERS SO GREEN SUMMERS SO BROWN
    UNTIL THE LINE OF LIFE WAS CUT AWAY
    THE LINE RAN THROUGH LIKE A PULSING VEIN
    CARRIED GOODS ON THE BACK OF THE TRAINS
    NOW THE TOWN'S LIFE BLOOD'S BEEN TAKEN AWAY

    V2:
    FIRST STOPS ALONG THE LINE
    MERE SIGNPOSTS FLASHING BY
    NOT EVEN, MAIL HANGING FROM THE HOOKS
    THE END OF THAT PULSING VEIN
    THE TRAIN BROUGHT LIFE AGAIN AND AGAIN
    NOW THE TOWN'S JUST A PAGE IN HISTORY BOOKS

    CH:
    WHY DON'T THE PEOPLE MATTER ANY MORE
    FROM BEHIND, THE BIG OAK DOORS
    DECIDE TO CUT THE LINES ON DOWN
    AND THE PEOPLE MOVE AWAY
    AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
    ON THIS, LONELY, LONELY TOWN

    (INSTRUMENTAL)

    V3:

    SO IF YOU'RE PASSING BY HERE
    IN YOUR TRAVELS ON THE ROAD
    REMEMBER, THIS WAS ONCE A TOWN
    FULL OF LIFE AND LOVE
    BUT WHEN YOU CUT AWAY THE VEIN
    THE LIFEBLOOD TO IT'S HEART IS GOING DOWN

    CH:
    WHY DON'T THE PEOPLE MATTER ANY MORE
    FROM BEHIND, THE BIG OAK DOORS
    DECIDE TO CUT THE LINES ON DOWN
    AND THE PEOPLE MOVE AWAY
    AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
    ON THIS, LONELY, LONELY TOWN

    TAG:
    AND THE PEOPLE MOVE AWAY
    AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
    ON THIS, LONELY, LONELY TOWN
