Hello Goodbye Town

I tried living in a hello goodbye town
Where the strays and the crazed and the amazed would stay and go
Where the runaways would meet with the hoboes to dwell over home.
I tried living in a runaway town.

I tried a working in a hello goodbye town
Where the ramblers and gamblers would heckle and laugh at my labor
Where the men and the women and their children had all seen the slammer.
I tried working in a layabout town.

I tried loving in a hello goodbye town
Where the women were haggard and laggard and staggered and swaggered
and they swore and they tore out your door around four in the morning
I tried loving in a dangerous town

I could not breathe in a hello goodbye town
where the smoke would blow and slowly choke me crying
where the dust would rust and bust my lungs a coughing
I tried breathing in a gas mask town.

I tried staying in a hello goodbye town
where the rivers and the timbers and the drifters would meet with the mountains
where the whispers and the whimpers and their echoes would meet with the darkness
I tried staying in a hotel town
And I finally said goodbye to this town.
