Well the lights in this town are faded Used to be lit up with smiles And all-around a dying breed Of people that once cared about it all About it all Well there's no more Highway 51 Everything's been just a lie Even the old station's changed Just shriveled up and died And now it's gone Now it's gone Oh sing me an old melody As out of tune as you might be Just for a while Well the lights in this town are faded Everyone's just made it home To crack a smile, I'd rather die than sit here all alone All alone Please just come home Well the only night I want a storm And it doesn't even rain at all Sitting out on your line The white bag gets me every time Shiver and shake The heavens quake in time with it all Oh sing me an old melody As out of tune as you might be Just for a while
