Last Chance County Lyrics

Open my eyes to find I'm on a bus
At the edge of the county where most folks have given up
My seat is towards the back and the ride here is full up
The smell is overwhelming and the occupants are mostly drunk

Don't you feel we must go?
Don't you feel we must go?
We go around here in circles
We go around to no end
Last Chance County
Last chance for me

I was on my way to the job where I am stuck
Where the men in the store run the rules like before
And the rest of us suck it up
I was hoping yesterday would be the day
Where the lines would all change, my life rearrange
But no promotion did appear that day

Don't you feel we must go?
Don't you feel we must go?
We go around here in circles
We go around to no end
Last Chance County
Last chance for me

Going 'round and 'round and 'round
And no new avenues are found
And now they've got another mile
'Til my bus pass is run down

The wheels on this bus, they are rotten, full of puss
The past undigested, the truth never spoken
The aves never travelled, the rules never broken
Go around in circles, we go to nowhere
The lives we were meant to lead all got off back there

Last Chance County
Last chance for me
Last Chance County
Last chance for me
