Hope it goes without saying but I'll say it.. I write Character songs about life, love, loss in culture around us.....and true songs on the love of Jesus Christ
Lyrics
Dead End Town
(C)2025 Gregory Valentine,Jerry Mynatt
I sang along to amazing grace
watched your momma cry rock bottom tears
As I stood there ,just three markers down
From where I stood last year
Started thinking I shoulda been a gravedigger
As they lowered another old friend down
A man could make a fortune here
Putting people in the ground
I swear this graveyard feels smaller every time I come around
Its just a dead end town
Im back in black every time I come back here
Closed down mines ,
Run down houses ,And rusted ,empty mills
Used to be Restaurants,but now theyre cooking up,something else in back holler kitchens
Where the road to inhales paved with death ,and breaking bad intentions
You swore to me you were done this time
After your time in county jail
begged you to leave these black hole roads ,Put that trailer up for sale
But you were tied up like the pit bulls here
Chained to backyard trees
Been there so long,that when your collar came off,You still didnt know you were free
So I guess you had to find another way to leave
Its just a dead end town
Im back in black every time I come back here
Closed down mines ,
Run down houses ,And rusted ,empty mills
Used to be Restaurants,but now theyre cooking up,something else in back holler kitchens
Where the road to inhales paved with death ,and breaking bad intentions
bridge:
I pull out from the parking lot
Look down Main Street one last time
This place always looks better
Leaving it behind
Its just a dead end town
Im back in black every time I come back here
Closed down mines ,
Run down houses ,And rusted ,empty mills
Used to be Restaurants,but now theyre cooking up,something else in back holler kitchens
Where the road to inhales paved with death ,and breaking bad intentions
