Midland

Jenny wakes up half past ten
Pours a coffee cup and folds the linen
Just another here we go again day in Midland
She grabs the keys and the Marbole Reds
Off of the table next to her bed
They don’t give a shit what the surgeon general says
Here in Midland
Day to day year to year
Time moves slow and disappears
Folks pass through and leave her here
Here in Midland
Jenny drives down to Joes bar and grill
She unlocks the door and turns on the till
No one to serve just time to kill here in Midland
She grabs an ashtray and pulls up a stool
Lights a cigarette turn on the news
Says what is this world coming to
Here in Midland
Day to day year to year
Time moves slow and disappears
Folks pass through and leave her here
Here in Midland
Jenny gets home at 3 a.m
Pulls her pockets out and goes to bed
She’ll get back up at half past ten
Here in Midland
Here in Midland
Round here in Midland
Round here in Midland
Round here in Midland
Round here in Midland
Round here in Midland
