Songs About Me
Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town
 Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow
 One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet
 Both police cars came, but I got away


 It was a boomtown back in'62, 'til the coal ran out
 And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
 That we all used to fish
 Population 405 and I made it 404 one night
 And left the city limit sign layin' in the ditch
 Run plumb over it, leavin' Metropolis


 Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard
 It ain't safe after dark, guess this ol' boy drove too far
 Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May
 Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place


 Where we can walk down to the country store
 And we won't even have to lock our door
 We can still get air and water there for free
 She said that sounds good to me


 It was a boomtown back in '62, 'til the coal ran out
 And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
 That we all used to fish
 Poupulation 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more
 And there's a city limit sign layin' in the ditch
 That I need to fix, back in Metropolis
 I'm almost in Metropolis
 And I'm back in Metropolis
