Ringling, Ringling
2
By: Jimmy Buffett
3
1974
4
Ringlin', Ringlin' slippin' away
5
Only forty people livin' there today
6
Streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
7
It's a dyin' little town
8
Church windows broken, that place ain't been used in years
9
Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell
10
And electric trains they run by maybe once or twice a month
11
Easin' it on down the Muscle Shell
12
Chorus:
13
Ringlin', Ringlin' slippin' away
14
Only forty people livin' there today
15
'Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
16
It's a dyin' little town
17
And across from the bar there's a pile of beer cans
18
Been there twenty-seven years
19
Imagine all the heartaches and tears
20
In twenty-seven years of beer
21
So we hopped back in the rent-a-car
22
And we hit the cruise control
23
Pretty soon the town was out of site
24
Though we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy, and a dog
25
Bracin' for a Ringlin' Friday night
26
Chorus:
27
Ringlin', Ringlin' you're just slippin' away
28
I wonder how many people will be there a year from today
29
'Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
30
It's a dyin' little town
31
Yeah, it's a dyin' little town
