Lyrics
Unincorporated
Use to be, life moved along so easily
That all changed, our simple life got rearranged
after all we've seen and lost,
time will tell if it was worth the cost
Used to be, you could work and raise a family
But these days, Two jobs, a loan and we're still a ways away
I guess you can say that we've had progress
But it don't look like that to me
Unincorporated, over saturated
So far under I can't see
Unincorporated lives
There was a time, I was yours and you, you were mine
When Hard times came, the way you looked at me was not the same
And when you left I nearly died
I thought we'd always be together, side by side
Unincorporated, nearly decimated
now there's not much left of me
Unincorporated lives
I'm like this town, we both seen our share of ups and of downs
Still I stay, things could turn around most any day
you don't need me or this town no more
You got a new job and a superstore
Unincorporated, underestimated
Until there's not much left of me
Forget the history, close all the factories
Let this town just blow away
Unincorporated lives
