Erik Petersen - O, Pennsyltucky! lyrics

[Verse 1] We sat on the boat rocks With plum wine and we'd watch The fog roll in, swallow the bridge on the bay I thought I could live here But I'm still in high-gear And sweating and freezing three-thousand away [Chorus] O Pennsyltucky, your three mile islands The coal fires buckle the Miners' highway I'd love just to leave you but its great to see you And Old Filthadelph , Hostile city, PA [Verse 2] Where we all come from Most died of the Black Lung Another, a browbeater, boxer, and saint When he finally got caught The cops made a few calls They opened his cell, never fought him again [Chorus] [Bridge] And old Filthadelph Hostile City, PA Wake me when steel city's Road work signs shine in my face (whoo!) Now I'm safe [Verse 3] Was that a peepshow With drive-thru windows? The gun show's got carousels and funnel cakes It says “Church” in neon And asks me what's beyond If I had to guess, I'd say more of the same [Chorus] [Outro] O Pennsyltucky! How your coal fires rumble! I'd love just to leave you But its great to see you And old filthadelph, hostile city, PA [x2]
