Quarry Town - Lyrics - Dan Colehour

1st Verse We never heard the call Or felt the pull of the open road We've got a brand new A&P And a big-screen picture show 1st Pre Chorus We hardly want for nothin' 'Cause our feet seldom leave the ground (We) (We've) never (knew) (known) any better In a quarry town 2nd Verse Back in '62 Around the start of Vietnam Some of us quarry boys Who were of fightin' age Made a deal with Uncle Sam 2nd Pre Chorus In the name of God and country We buried our friends in the ground We never knew any better In a quarry town Chorus If who you are Is a little of where you're from You're gonna find a whole lotta people 'round here Mixed in with the limestone dust (Repeat 1st Pre Chorus) 3rd Verse I've cut the yellow stone For now on thirty years And I will 'til they lay me down 'Cause nothin' changes much around here 3rd Pre Chorus Like those that came before us We take what is handed down We give it to our children In a quarry town (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat 1st Pre Chorus) Tag Our feet never leave the ground In a quarry town Hey In a quarry town Yeah, in a quarry town
