Paper Mill Town

 
I spent 19 years in a paper mill town
I never found my place in what went down
I went out to the world to find a better ground
I only found a bridge that was falling down
 
           19 years, in a paper mill town
           way too long, in a paper mill town
 
I was born to a working class family
my father used to work at the factory
I got two sisters and they're both fine
they managed to avoid that production line
 
           most of my life, in a paper mill town
           most of my life, in a paper mill town
 
20 years later I have cleaned up my act
it took a lot of work, as a matter of fact
so where did I end up, where was I tied down
well, I'm living in another paper mill town
 
           rest of my life, in a paper mill town
           rest of my life, in a paper mill town
 
I once had a girl, tried to track her down
I needed to know that she's safe and sound
I found out that she lies in a burial ground
sleeping to the beat of that paper mill town
 
           sleeping to the beat of that paper mill town
 
                              paper mill town sucks your soul away
                              paper mill town, there'll be hell to pay
 
                              paper mill town sucks your soul away
                              paper mill town, there'll be hell to pay
