about

The scene of the first crime.

lyrics

Dirty dollars come and dirty dollars go
'bout half a mile from the railroad tracks.
There's a place where all the local workers go -
they get to drinkin' and they don't look back.

Everyone goes but no one wants to be seen
in a town where the talk can spread like a cancer.
But when the bartender asks if you want something to drink -
don't tell him the story, just tell him your answer.

Running moonshine down the river has its risks
but we got this town firmly in our grip.
We got policemen on the payroll and it shows
'cause every night this bar's the main event.

Everyone knows the Golden Rule and it goes:
Keep the cards in the back and never take home a dancer.
But when the bartender asks if you want something to drink -
don't tell him the story, just tell him your answer.

Gold town - coal town - we know miners like to get down.
Gold town - coal town - we know miners like to get down.
Gold town - coal town - we know miners like to get down.
Gold town - coal town - we all know miners like to get down.

Come to The Answer where the
drinks are a pourin' and the
music's a-playin, we keep
people doing all the things
that people like to do and at the
end of the night we hope you
feel alright 'cause if the
mood is right we'll keep on
serving drinks 'til dawn why don't you
come to The Answer you won't
find nothing better share your
tears and your laughter
when we all get together.

But when the bartender asks if you want something to drink -
don't tell him the story, just tell him your answer.
