Lyrics Matt Kennon – Throwback Town

Signs says population 973
One yellow flashing caution light by the feeding seed
Betty Lues diner up ahead on the right
Parking lot full every Saturday night

In a throwback town
Where time slows down
Where Jesus is the savior
Everybody knows their neighbor
And at midnight all the lights go out
That’s the way the world goes round in a throwback town

There’s an autographed picture of Haggart hanging in the barbershop
From when his bus broke down one summer on his way to Little Rock
Newest car in town is 20 years old
Junior’s garage keeps em’ all on the road
When you go to sleep you don’t even keep the front door locked, no

In a throwback town
Where time slows down
Where Jesus is the savior
Everybody knows their neighbor
And at midnight all the lights go out
That’s the way the world goes round in a throwback town

In a throwback town
Where time slows down
Where Jesus is the savior
Everybody knows their neighbor
And at midnight all the lights go out
That’s the way the world goes round
That’s the way the world goes round
Baby let’s settle on down
