Ringling, Ringling
Slippin' away
Only forty people, livin' there today

Streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down
It's a dyin' little town


Church windows broken
That place ain't been used in years
Jail don't have a sheriff or a cell

And electric trains they run by maybe once or twice a month
Easin' it on down to Musselshell


Ringling, Ringling
Slippin' away
Only forty people livin' there today

`Cause the streets are dusty and the bank had been torn down
It's a dyin' little town


And across from the bar there's a pile of beer cans
Been there twenty-seven years
Imagine all the heart aches and tears

In twenty-seven years of beer

So we hopped back in the rental car

and we hit the cruise control
Pretty soon the town was out of sight
Though we left behind a fat barmaid, a cowboy and a dog

Racin' for a Ringling Friday night

Ringling, Ringling

Your just slippin' away
I wonder how many people will be there a year from today
`Cause the streets are dusty and the bank has been torn down

It's a dyin' little town
It's a dyin' little town
