"The Saddest Factory In Decatur, Arkansas" lyrics
I worked Saturdays at the satisfactory factory
After me, there'd be shift change over
I'd quit being sober
I'd watch the planes fly over
Think about folks I knew
I used to know a few
I'd call up the numbers
Say "What's up, brother?"
Today is another day
Say, what's new?
Talking the talk
Walking circles
Around the block
Smack dab in the middle
Of the lower 48
How could this be any slower
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
Pulverized
Beat down by the mundane
Paralyzed
Going insane, well
The saddest factory's still
Satisfactory still
Gotta make a living, they ain't giving 'em out
Not if I want my pride
I'd just as soon die
Than be lazy
Smack dab in the middle
Of the lower 48
How could this be any slower
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
I quit Saturdays at the satisfactory factory
After me, there'd be plenty of time
Since I's off the line
Oh, I drank like a river
Pickled my liver
Watch takers and givers
Shiver in the cold light
I ain't blaming nobody for nothing
But I got something I can't say
I gotta carry it away
I'd ring the numbers
Call 'em up, no one'd pick up
I guess we talked enough
Smack dab in the middle
Of the lower 48
How could this be any slower
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
Pulverized
Beat down by the mundane
Paralyzed
Going insane, well
The saddest factory's still
Satisfactory still
Gotta make a living, they ain't giving 'em out
Not if I want my pride
I'd just as soon die
Than be lazy
Smacked dab in the middle
Of the lower 48
How could this be any different
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
After me, there'd be shift change over
I'd quit being sober
I'd watch the planes fly over
Think about folks I knew
I used to know a few
I'd call up the numbers
Say "What's up, brother?"
Today is another day
Say, what's new?
Talking the talk
Walking circles
Around the block
Smack dab in the middle
Of the lower 48
How could this be any slower
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
Pulverized
Beat down by the mundane
Paralyzed
Going insane, well
The saddest factory's still
Satisfactory still
Gotta make a living, they ain't giving 'em out
Not if I want my pride
I'd just as soon die
Than be lazy
Smack dab in the middle
Of the lower 48
How could this be any slower
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
I quit Saturdays at the satisfactory factory
After me, there'd be plenty of time
Since I's off the line
Oh, I drank like a river

Smacked dab in the middle

How could this be any different
Than to go to hell and wait
Decatur, I'll see you later
