    It's closing time the boys are all together at the bar

Yesterday I heard union hall come down

And they try but nothing changes in this town

Eb
Cap in hand stood in line
     Bb                              F
Your family ties are the chains that bind
    Eb
The endless wheel goes round and round

Chances are you'll never leave this town

While the kids get wet playing the same old games
Cm7
Locked away so many things remind them of war
                F
They tap the pavement with their canes
                           Cm7
The good old days ain't so good no more

Chances are you'll never leave this town
