Going across town on the 8th street bridge Passing that old railroad yard Noses to tails, they are lining up As far as I can see here, it’s rusty old trains As far as I can see here, it’s rusty old trains Rusty old trains and burned out cars Vacant store fronts down on the boulevard Busted out windows down at the old churchyard It’s the sign of the time The face of our demise It’s the sign of the time My old grandma used to hang her laundry out Hanging it all out for the whole world to see Grandaddy’s underwear said made in the USA Now we’re too embarrassed to hang our fat clothes out We’re too embarrassed to hang our dirty clothes out Rusty old trains and burned out cars Vacant storefronts down on the boulevard Busted out windows down at the old church yard It’s the sign of the time The face of our demise The sign of the time Everyone I know is in a great big hurry The faster you go here the quicker you’ll get there The end of the road is the same here for everyone I’m going to take my time here and look at the scenery I’m gonna take my time here and look at the scenery Rusty old trains and burned out cars Vacant storefronts down on the boulevard Busted out windows down at the old church yard It’s the sign of the time The face of our demise The sign of the time
