Shut'er Down Lyrics

Writers: Doug Supernaw/Justin White

Parkview used to be just on the outside of town

Now it's right in the middle of a city that's grown all round it

And the old folks there just sit and stare at the walls

Except for one crazy old man standin' there preachin' in the halls

His old friend died last week so they let him go

And his eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the shoulder

And some punks drove by and yelled as he stood at the casket

And he cussed this world that had gone to hell in a basket

So he walked downtown with his cane pole

Looking through the window of what used to be the drugstore

Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life

He heads on down to the fishin' hole and dreams about his hero

Who took him there when he was three years old

Same spot every day but don't need no bait cause it's dry

Yes it's true that he's not quite all there but who cares

Neither are the values that he's lived by for 90 years

Just like his home townDoug Supernaw - Shut'er Down - http://motolyrics.com/doug-supernaw/shuter-down-lyrics.html

He's about to shut her down

My views used to be just like those kids in that car

Until I woke up one day thanks to a switch in the yard

Now the old man's gone but his thoughts are livin' in me

About the way this damned 'ol world is supposed to be

So I walked downtown with his cane pole

Looking through the window of what used to be the drugstore

Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life

Head on down to the fishin' hole and dream about my hero

Who took me there when I was three years old

Same spot every day but don't need no bait cause it's dry

Yes it's true that I'm not quite all there but who cares

Neither are the values that he taught me in 30 years

Just like his home town

He just had to shut her down

And just like his home town

He just finally shut her down
