Lyrics

Beaujolais, and you're ready to go
Your friends are waiting for you to show
Out in back of the Five & Dime
But a nickel ain't bought nothin'
In a long, long time

It's a rusted town
We're all rusted down
Twenty years of dyin'
Made an awful sound
Clothes on the line
In the bright sunshine
Got the trailer cleaned up
Cause it's Saturday night

Drivin' all night while the motor hums
Talkin' in the wind, til the daylight comes
Ain't got no secrets, can't tell any lies
That's the kinda friend that a nickel still buys

It's a rusted town
We're all rusted down
Twenty years of dyin'
Made an awful sound
Clothes on the line
In the bright sunshine
Got the trailer cleaned up
Cause it's Saturday night

Sittin' on the levee, we’re watchin' the stars
Highway's dark and quiet
Cause there ain't no cars
No one comes round here anymore
And if they do they wonder
What the hell for

‘Cause It's a rusted town
We're all rusted down
Twenty years of dyin'
Made an awful sound
Clothes on the line
In the bright sunshine
Got the trailer cleaned up
Cause it's Saturday night
We’re Midnight racin' GTOs and 442s
When the cars dropped down
So did you
Yeah … so did you

I’d be rollin' to the crib while the sun comes up
And I’m starin' in the bottom of my coffee cup
There ain't a single place in the whole damn town
You don't get the feelin' you're all rusted down

It's a rusted town
We're all rusted down
Twenty years of dyin'
Made an awful sound
Clothes on the line
In the bright sunshine
Got the trailer cleaned up
Cause it's Saturday night
