There's a factory standing empty
Where we built your Chevrolet
And we sent our kids to college
On a forty hour wageBut now the windows all are broken
There's graffiti on the walls
And the kids came home from college
And took a job down at the mallAnd the winter is getting longer
And this town is frozen now
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never comeThere's a half full whiskey bottle
On the table by my bed
And there's a hollow in the pillow
Where she used to lay her headAnd all the dreams and all the memories
Faded pictures and crooked frames
Hang in silence down the hallway
In the chill of what remainsNow the winter is getting colder
And my heart is frozen now
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never comeShades of hopeless on the faces
Of the souls who stand in light
And Holy Jesus hangs on crosses
And I hear Mother Mary cryingHalleluiah, halleluiah
Soon it all will disappear
Buried under the snows of winter
Just like we all were never here
