The Loneliest Town In the West

There’s not much to see in this desert town

There aren’t many people; no one seems to be around

One solitary man shovels manure at his pig farm

Everywhere you look

Just junky old cars and cracked unlucky gnomes in every yard

Old lady Sitter sits in her rocking chair

Wiping the sweat from her head

Right beside her is old man Sitter

Doesn’t say a word, he must be dead

No children play in this one horse town

Many of them, by their parents, drowned

Went insane from the heat of the day

The town now is in such a state of decay

All they wanted to do was play

But daddies and mommies wouldn’t have it any other way

After children died the way they did

Each throat of mommies and daddies were slit

Look closely you can see the river of blood

Flowing down that dirty main street

So much blood never needed to be shed

Old lady Sitter says it was from the heat of the day

Along with the evil demons that caused the crazed town to dread

These demons got there fill and left

This one horse town, the loneliest one in the west
