I'm starting to think that it ain't no great shakes
being the pride of Nacogdoches, Texas,
where we sing them same songs about how yesterday's gone
and today's just the same as tomorrow and the next is.
Tim Howard won't save us,
not that we'd ever ask him to.
Out there in the world, you got lights and sounds and colors,
but here, it's all Nacogdoches Blue.
The universe found its way into town
when Columbia scattered all over the ground here.
I thought I'd soothe by brain inhaling the rain,
but it just smells like a gulf full of oil around here.
Well, Jesus won't save us.
It's not like we never ask him to.
Out there in the world, it's all lights and sounds and colors,
but here, it's all Nacogdoches Blue.
It's dawning on me that it only gets worse
the older and drunker I get every day now.
The Sentinel says twenty-one never ends
and money's the only thing runs out on this town.
