In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights 'tween the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on Saturday night
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed, then a shotgun blast...
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill
'cross the railroad tracks
Foreman says, "These jobs are going, boys,
And they ain't coming back"
