Dan Colehour - Quarry Town Lyrics

We never heard the call
Or felt the pull of the open road
We've got a brand new A&P
And a big-screen picture show

We hardly want for nothin'
'Cause our feet seldom leave the ground
(We) (We've) never (knew) (known) any better
In a quarry town

Back in '62
Around the start of Vietnam
Some of us quarry boys
Who were of fightin' age
Made a deal with Uncle Sam

In the name of God and country
We buried our friends in the ground
We never knew any better
In a quarry town

If who you are
Is a little of where you're from
You're gonna find a whole lotta people 'round here
Mixed in with the limestone dust

I've cut the yellow stone
For now on thirty years
And I will 'til they lay me down
'Cause nothin' changes much around here

Like those that came before us
We take what is handed down
We give it to our children
In a quarry town
Our feet never leave the ground

In a quarry town
Hey
In a quarry town
Yeah, in a quarry town
C'mon
