Hey! Where am I? Hey listen out Let me tell you a story What this is all about (Verse 1) First there was nothin', just a field of green Then ten houses rose up, a nasty town to be seen A strip mall appeared, and in its neon glow Rusty Angel, where the lost souls go The lost souls go (Chorus) There the good ol' boys and the lonely hearts meet Sippin' on their sorrows, can't be beat Roughnecks and rounders, with stories untold Rusty Angel's where their lives unfold It's the heart of this town, a refuge for some Where the good ol' boys and the broken hearts come And their dreams to die (Verse 2) Wheat fields grew tall, under the big sky's grace Architects with their damn city ways Built concrete boxes, tall, ugly and gray Brought in strangers from the farms, far away Carolina boys,with their southern drawl, Midwest drunks, answerin' the city's call Marriages crumbled, dreams turned to dust Our Rusty Angel, their only trust Their only trust (Chorus) There the good ol' boys and the lonely hearts meet Sippin' on their sorrows, can't be beat Roughnecks and rounders, with stories untold Rusty Angel's where their lives unfold It's the heart of this town, a refuge for some Where the good ol' boys and the broken hearts come And where their dreams come to die [Guitar solo] (Verse 3) The jukebox plays its mournful tunes Singin' of heartbreak, beneath the desert moon A weathered singer, with a voice full of pain Her songs echoing a life in vain Gamblers and drifters, with nothin' left to lose Knowin' those pearly gates they'll never cruise Only the barkeep understands their plight Pourin' one last drink, in the fading light Before they stumble into the night (Chorus) There the good ol' boys and the lonely hearts meet Sippin' on their sorrows, can't be beat Roughnecks and rounders, with stories untold Rusty Angel's where their lives unfold It's the heart of this town, a refuge for some Where the good ol' boys and the broken hearts come And where their dreams come to die Now hear me out I've got another story to tell...
