Well the TV's off cause there's nothing on

All the hometown fans are in the stands

Since the team won state cause the coach was great

And then they hired him down in Peterstown

But he didn't win now he's back again

The next batch of kids could not commit

They were big enough but not that tough

And thought the single wing was just a passing thing

I guess the will to win is all forgotten

When old times they are oxycontin

Well the jobs were lost and the war it cost

This kid came back from Iraq

Had it pretty comfy cause he drove a humvee

For an old die hard in the national guard

Who thought he was safe though the town got strafed

Or an occasional mortar from across the border

He'd always joke in the emails he'd wrote

And tell his mom not to worry none

He was spending his time winning hearts and minds

Until he picked up a can and he lost his hand

Then a writer came from a magazine

And wrote the whole town up for the AARP

Called it number one place to retire

So the rich folks came and the taxes got higher

With their healthy hair and their perfect spouses

They built these mansions and big cow palaces

And the effete and the elite were all walking around

With their noses up as they looked down

On the people born who could not afford

To live in their own town no more

Lo Siento, they even renamed it Spanish Trace West Virginia
