There's faded paint down Walnut Street
That's the cotton gin where the farmers meet
There's the water tower I never had the guts to climb
Sums up how, some folks live, and others die trying
She'll pick you up and she'll pull you down
And everyone waves when they're driving through town
And the faces may change, but the last names never do
It's a beautiful way of life in Idalou
ย
Just north of the highway is my dad's old work barn
Down the road from there is where the Isoms farm
Coach Taylor retired, after finally winning state
They'll all move on, but the stories will stay the same
She'll pick you up and she'll pull you down
And everyone waves when they're driving through town
Yeah, the faces may change but the last names never do
It's a beautiful way of life in Idalou
ย
Ahhh, there's a sole traffic light, and one side is red
And most people stop and they stay 'til they're dead
The other side's yellow, it means proceed with caution
But if you keep going you may be forgotten
ย
She'll pick you up and she'll pull you down
Everyone waves when they're, driving through town
She'll pick you up and pull you down
And everyone waves when they're driving through our little town
Yeah, the faces may change, but the last names never do
It's a beautiful way of life in Idalou
It's a beautiful way of life for me and you, ohhh
