It’s about small towns that die out because everyone thinks life is happening in the big cities.
Born in my town
Grown up in my town
I left for better
Like anyone else
Now I come home
And all I see is
My abandoned town
Hurts like hell
Closed for business
Never open up again
Closed for business
Like so many places
Closed for business
Nothing to do about
Closed for business
Just dying out
Living in the big city
Living the big live
Lots of friends
As long as I buy
Alone between my walls
Working my ass off
For someone who someday
Just says thank you and bye
Closed for business
Never open up again
Closed for business
Like so many places
Closed for business
Nothing to do about
Closed for business
Just dying out
I am back now for good
Lovely old Lisa
Still sits on her porch
Smoking and drinking
Will I be like her
Sitting for the rest of my days
On my porch
Smoking and drinking
Closed for business
Never open up again
Closed for business
Like so many places
Closed for business
Nothing to do about
Closed for business
Just dying out
Closed for business
Never open up again
Closed for business
Like so many places
