Lonely Town U.S.A. Copyright © Maureen Kelly Verse 1 Friday morning sunshine, everybody's right on time Hear the whistle blow Last time that they'll ever see the inside of that factory Plant's about to close, everybody goes Chorus Now the grass grows wild on the empty highway And the laughter's gone where the children played And the southern bound isn't even slowing It's another day in Lonely Town U.S.A. Verse 2 Larry moved to San Anton, Michael says he's going home Grew up in LA May owns the corner store, been there 40 years or more Knows no other way, but how's she gonna stay Chorus Bridge And it's sad to say something they all know But it's the only way, got to go, got to go Chorus
