lyrics

Milwaukee River runs throught this Midwest town
Tracks are torn up rusted, never get run down
Dealership sign just fades with time
'Been twenty years since a sale’s been made

It’s a broken heart land
She’s a broken heartland
This broken heart land is my home

In the twenties boom we had a boarding house room
Sold’em beer two kegs of the best well before noon
And the dice got rolled, stories got told
All the boys bragged about the pretty women all the way back home

Well it breaks my heart to have to close the door
Last call lock’em up these taps’ll run no more
When the plant shut down Money left this town
To many mouths to feed and no more giving hands
