lyrics

Over gracious as a guilty man
He walks in
No sure if he behaved
Last time he was here

He works at it till Mary Ann
cracks a grin
As she's pouring him
His beer

He looks out on the empty
Main street outside
Small town,
Big Sky

This jobs such a drag
How the hell'd he ever end up here
Mostly just waits out
The days

These guys and this boredom
Really, after all
Man it just aint worth
What it pays

Those walks home at dusk
Rooftops and rhyme
Small town,
Big Sky

And Sally was so fine
Always patient, always waiting
He couldn't hope
To do any better

But he's always looking
For the sparks and the flames
Never knowing the warmth
Of the embers

That distant train
Out in the night
Small town,
Big Sky
