Leaving here was easy, coming back was tough
Until I saw this town, I thought I'd had it rough
Rode real hard and put away wet
Still don't think we've seen the worst of it yet
The factory shut down back in '93
Now this town's just a shell of what it used to be
Damn gas has jumped back up to 305
How are folks like us supposed to survive?
When even the Dollar General is closing down
We'd fix it if we could, but we don't know how
Can't put concrete in a casket
If you could, they'd bury this town
'Cause even the Dollar General is closing down
See, that used to be the movies, now it's just a sign
For sale with a number between the marquee lights
Another vape shop going next to the IGA
Another modern-day main street, USA
'Cause even the Dollar General is closing down
We'd fix it if we could, but we don't know how
Can't put concrete in a casket
If you could, they'd bury this town
'Cause even the Dollar General is closing down
Greatest trick ever played, was taking our voice
And giving us two sides and the illusion of choice
It ain't left versus right, it's bottom versus top
Until we figure it out, this ain't gonna stop
'Til we figure it out, this ain't gonna stop
'Til we figure it out, this ain't gonna stop
'Cause even the Dollar General is closing down
We'd fix it if we could, but we don't know how
Can't put concrete in a casket
If you could, they'd bury this town
'Cause even the Dollar General is closing down
'Cause even the Dollar General is closing down
