Red ribbons hang in a Tennessee square Old people laughing and singing and dancing down there I'd like to join 'em, I got no money to spare So I sit here and watch from the porch Drinkin whiskey in granddaddy's chair Ferris wheel lights look like pictures I'd seen in a book somewhere Vacant parking lots across the street remind me I'm going nowhere I'd like to join 'em, I got no money to spare So I sit here and I watch from the porch Drinkin whiskey in granddaddy's chair It's difficult to go on knowing you're out there somewhere Vacant parking lots across the street remind me I'm going nowhere
