"Fall City" lyrics

"Fall City"

Fall City in the winter
At the Raging River Bar
Shannon, she enjoys the company
When the locals start to get a bit too rowdy
She's a mother to anyone who's dancin' with a drink
You got somethin' on your mind?
Tell Mama, but the bar closes at three

We got a breakdown on the highway
And we're holdin' up a string a trucks
But my old man he'll take care of us
He's got a baseball bat to hold up the hood
He knows a friend of a friend
Who can give us a jump if we get stuck

We never been too good with our money
Or should I say, the money ain't never been good to us
We'll put a tip jar up at the market
Get us half a good tank of gas
We may not have much, but we have somethin' to talk about
And when the music's playin' "This Little Light of Mine"
It won't ever burn out
You've got troubles on your mind, sing a tune
And let those troubles out
