kevin welch - sam's town كلمات الأغنية

[verse]
sam never believed that he could ever be
anything special to anyone
but he didn’t mind ’cause he was the kind
who could get along fine with everyone
he had a job at the texaco
if were a stranger and things were slow
he’d be glad to put it all down
take you out, show you around
sam’s town

[verse]
you know old sam had a little bit of land
a quarter section or so
but the creek ran shallow and the fields lay fallow
’cause he couldn’t get a thing to grow
so when the land man camе to his trailer that night
talking ’bout percentagеs and mineral rights
it didn’t take long for the deal to go down
they were sinking a drilling rig deep in the ground
sam’s ground

[chorus]
ain’t life funny, ain’t life strange
ain’t it amazing how life can change?
it came rushing like a big black bull
they were piping it out by the barrelful
pretty soon the word got around
down in sam’s town
[verse]
some time went by, the yield was high
money just rolling in
still old sam stayed a simple man
you’d never know he had a nickel to spend
buthe built a new wing on the old high school
the church hourse finally got a brand new roof
then a park with a pool and a big playground
spreading every bit of that money around
sam’s town

[chorus]
ain’t life funny, ain’t life strange
ain’t it amazing how life can change?
one day like the lord just threw a switch
that well went as dry as a dust bowl ditch
then a man came down from the government
wanting to know where all the money went
sam just smiled and said
well, i’ll be proud to show you around
our town

[chorus]
some time went by, the yield was high
money just rolling in
the tax man auctioned off that land
but the town pitched in and bought it back again
nowhe’s still down at the texaco
if you’re a stranger and things are slow
he’d be glad to show you’re around
sam’s town
it’s unlce sam’s town now
