lyrics

He’s a dirty dealin’ kid
Robbin’ a ninety-nine cent store
His leather jacket keepin’ hid
All the stuff he’s got no use for

It’s a daily double cross
When you’re livin’ a big mistake
Cause your daddy took the loss
And he never got an even break

In this a factory town that’s past its prime
It’s time I packed my bags and got on down the line
Far from Jamestown… oh Jamestown
Nothin’ goes and nothin’ comes around in Jamestown

There’s some carneys comin’ through
To the food land parkin’ lot
With wheels and lights and things to do
And we all go cause it’s all we got

When you’re stuck down at the bottom
Where you never see the top
You live to ride the Gravitron
Just to feel the bottom drop

It’s a factory town that’s past its prime
It’s time I packed my bags and got on down the line
Far from Jamestown… oh Jamestown
Nothin’ goes and nothin’ comes around in Jamestown

Before I wake up and find I’m past my prime
I’ll pack my bags and get on down the line
Far from Jamestown… oh Jamestown
Nothin’ goes and nothin’ comes
Nothin’ goes and nothin’ comes around in Jamestown
