Gatesville
(Susan Gibson, Pie-Eyed Groobee Music, BMI, Bug Music)

Gatesville, sleepy town
3 beauty shops and a burial ground
we all want to look our best when they put us down
In Gatesville

Gatesville, 11 miles
Maybe we could rest for just a little while
But I’m not sure that we could make it out alive
In Gatesville

I’m sure she must have made plenty of plans
She had the right idea she met the wrong man
With every new candle she made the same old wish
But she traded it in for a satellite dish
In Gatesville

Gatesville, nice enough folks
When I stop for coffee and a pack of smokes
They may not like us but they laugh at our jokes
In Gatesville

2 husbands later & working on her third
she begs you not to listen to the stories you’ve heard
she goes to work before the sun & gets home after dark
but at least she got a corner lot in the nicest trailer park
in Gatesville

Gatesville, scenic route
I guess these fences aren’t to keep us out
Cuz passing through is what it’s all about

In Gatesville
