lyrics

TITLE: A Sad, Sad Story of Thomas McCrory

Born in Kentucky - matter of fact.
Born in Kentucky - in a small wood shack.
Hard dirt floors - candles for light.
Shack burned down on a Saturday night.

Dreaming of the city – don’t look back.
Dreaming of the city – not a small wood shack.
Took an Uber to the city – another to the next.
Things were looking pretty – ‘til the damn car wrecked.

Chorus
A sad, sad story of Thomas McCrory.
A sad, sad time – he’s losing his mind.
A sad, sad story of Thomas McCrory.
A sad, sad time – he’s losing his mind.

Thomas in the city – found himself a job.
Found himself a working at the Café Kebob.
Working in the morning – Working late at night.
Think about the future – looking very bright.

Thomas was a big deal – Thomas opened doors.
Thomas made big promises – but doesn’t anymore.
Thomas owned a restaurant – Thomas owned a store.
Thomas owned a little town – but doesn’t anymore.

Chorus
