Not In This Town Lyrics

When the train hit the car, nobody cared

No one knew the children, no one here

And the fire that burned all the houses down

Didn't really matter Not in this town

[Chorus]

It can't happen here, it can't happen here

Can't happen here, can't happen here

Always somewhere else

Street raced to her face

Meets her unanswered prayers

No one seemed to notice, no one here

Selfish death wish or the final frontier

I don't know the afterlife

She knows it to clear

[Chorus]

Pressure starts to build inside his head

Burnt down his own house

Left his family for dead

The people in the news all shook their heads

He was such a good father was all they said

[Chorus]

Water reached high mark on the stick

Old lady drowned in bed she was sick

Horses and cars went all under water

Who could've known it's been suck a dry summer
