"Wide Right Town" lyrics

Snow fills up the streets
My uncle Lesly used to sweep
They found a loophole
To make chemical dumps legal

And I busted my front teeth
In that roller skating rink
They thought we'd sue
Mom said we're not that kind of people

And the gray steel plant
Casts shadows into potholes
And ya make big plans
They get laughed at till you're humble

Hey it's good to see you here
Where old men scream at TV screens
This could be our year
Hey the winter brings you down
Like a field goal kick I'll always miss
The wide right town

The snow turned into ash
We eulogized the quarterback
This town ain't dead
But it hangs around on death row

And it's just two tanks of gas
But we'll never make it back
To the glory days of Kelly Elway Bledsoe

And a steel gray sky
Is the backdrop of the steeple
On a Sunday night
In a bar full of good people

Singing hey it's good to see you here
Where old men scream at TV screens
This could be our year
Hey the winter brings you down
Like a field goal kick I'll always miss
The wide right town

It's a coin toss, it's a just loss
It's the dreaming about one day
Ya get so close, ya get almost
You get back to work on Monday

Hey it's good to see you here
So sad to read about your dad
Maybe this will be our year

Hey were only two points down
Like a field goal kick I'll always miss
The wide right town
The weather's shit
But I'll always miss
This wide right town
