Tacotown


Tacotown
Lyrics by Sam Thompson
It's raining
And all of the people
Have boarded their windows
And gone home
No one
Not even the Sisters
Noticed a thing until it was done
And it's raining all over town
She lived back of McDonald's
Just off of Waco
In Tacotown
He was
Pitching for pennies
Waiting for something to come down
And it's raining all over town
It didn't look too good
Staying out late at night
But it didn't hurt too bad
And no one will be the wiser for its
raining
It's raining
And all of the people
Who leave for the winter
Have packed and gone
Something's
Better than no one
Until something better comes along
And it's raining all over town
I wrote Tacotown a long time ago, probably in 1979. I was new to Iowa and trying to capture something of the neighborhood I grew up in. I have always thought a lot about the people I grew up with and those who didn't leave. I think I was really writing about myself in this song, but was too young to know it.
This thing is still not accepting spaces, which really messes with my peferred layout style. Not sure what happened. Pissing me off.
