about

A song for Ajo, AZ

lyrics

Found out I’m living in a dying town
It’s like watching the sun set on a long, long day
People that you grow up knowing, they ain’t around anymore
You come to find out time really does slip away
Ooh

So what do I know about the streets where my shadow
Would follow me around
Is the same place I came from the place I’ve been all along
‘Cause everything’s changing
Everything’s changing

Turns out I’m living in a dying town
The churchyard’s full so I guess you don’t live forever
The knife in the heart was the day the company
Closed the copper mine down
There’s no reason to stay when the pay’s as bad as the weather
Ooh

So what do I know about the streets where my shadow
Would follow me around
Is the same place I came from the place I’ve been all along
‘Cause everything’s changing
Everything’s changing
Everything keeps changing and I’ve never been good with change

Turns out I’m living in a dying town
Likely I’ll be one of those last ones standing
