Jimmy Buffett - Ringling, Ringling lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Ringling, Ringling lyrics]
Ringlin', Ringlin' slippin' away
Only forty people livin' there today
Streets are dusty and the bank
Has been torn down it's a dyin' little town
Church windows broken
That place ain't been used in years
Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell
And electric trains
They run by maybe once or twice a month
Easin' it on down to Muscle Shell
Ringlin', Ringlin' slippin' away
Only forty people livin' there today
'Cause the streets are dusty and the
Bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
And across from the bar
There's a pile of beer cans
Been there twenty-seven years
Imagine all the heartaches and tears
In twenty-seven years of beer
So we hopped back in the rent-a-car
And we hit the cruise control
Pretty soon the town was out of sight
Though we left behind a fat barmaid
A cowboy and a dog
Bracin' for a Ringlin' Friday night
Ringlin', Ringlin' you're just slippin' away
I wonder how many people will be
There a year from today
'Cause the streets are dusty and the
Bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
Yeah, it's a dyin' little town
Only forty people livin' there today
Streets are dusty and the bank
Has been torn down it's a dyin' little town
Church windows broken
That place ain't been used in years
Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell
And electric trains
They run by maybe once or twice a month
Easin' it on down to Muscle Shell
Ringlin', Ringlin' slippin' away
Only forty people livin' there today
'Cause the streets are dusty and the
Bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
And across from the bar
There's a pile of beer cans
Been there twenty-seven years
Imagine all the heartaches and tears
In twenty-seven years of beer
So we hopped back in the rent-a-car
And we hit the cruise control
Pretty soon the town was out of sight
Though we left behind a fat barmaid
A cowboy and a dog
Bracin' for a Ringlin' Friday night
Ringlin', Ringlin' you're just slippin' away
I wonder how many people will be
There a year from today
'Cause the streets are dusty and the
Bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town
Yeah, it's a dyin' little town
