Lyrics
(verse 1) "Pink slips, chop and shop, it's getting hot and sweaty and the clock has all but stopped. Here in this broken down buick city hopes and dreams are all we have, such a pity. This used to be where a hard working family could earn a decent living. Red necks, blue collars and white T's. This can't be all that's left for me." (chorus) "Buick city breakdown take me home, barely gettin' by here on my own theres a lot of fine folks here out of their homes, trying to find a j-o-b, thankin' our g-o-d for every blessing found in this buick city, buick city breakdown." (verse 2) "We're not the type to throw sticks and stones and sometimes we're hard to know. First in, last out when it comes to a fight but only if it's over something right. Hard workers, heavy drinkers, strong lovers, call everyone around ya brother...smoke stacks, broken glass and potholes...yeah I guess this looks like home." (bridge) This is our town, we're proud. This is our town and we won't back down. This is our town and we get loud. (Chorus)
