[Verse 1]
Well, my head's been hurtin', my back's been achin'
The water's dryin' up, there's a war in the makin'
People eatin' bugs 'cause they won't eat bacon
Doggonit

[Verse 2]
There's needles in the streets, folks hardly survivin'
On sidewalks next to highways full of cars self-drivin'
The poor keep hurtin' and the rich keep thrivin'
Doggonit

[Chorus]
But there's a little town somewhere
The only thing you hear at night
Is that old mill hummin'
The only time traffic backs up
Is when that old sweet Norfolk Southern
Train's a-hummin'
With me and a doggonit
Just me and a doggonit

[Verse 3]
Now peoples cryin' 'bout burning coal, but not the poor souls who's-a digging it
I reckon there's been a-many good man in the grave tryin' to keep our houses lit
From down in the oil fields and the pipelines and the linemen and the coal mines
So we can sit at home and plug in our newfangled bullshit
And Republicans and Democrats, Lord, I swear they're all just full of crap
I ain't never seen a good city-slickin' bureaucrat
[Chorus]
But there's a little town somewhere
The only thing you hear at night
Is that old mill hummin'
The only time traffic backs up
Is when that old sweet Norfolk Southern
Train's a-hummin'
With me and a doggonit
Just me and a doggonit

[Outro]
Well, my head's been hurtin', my back's been achin'
The water's dryin' up, there's a war in the makin'
People eatin' bugs 'cause they won't eat bacon
Doggonit
