If you're looking for the best way to go
It's where the river bends down that dirty old road
I've seen a thousand walk and never come back
At the edge of dusk the fading light on their backs

It's a bad town
Oh it's a bad town

You never leave that's the thing that nobody knows
In bad town the only ones left are the ghosts
And many have asked do you pay to get in?
Well you pay to get in and you pray to get out

It's a bad town
Oh it's a bad town
