Midland - Sean McConnell

Jenny wakes up half past ten

Pours a coffee cup and folds the linen

Just another here we go again day in Midland

She grabs the keys and the Marbole Reds

Off of the table next to her bed

They don’t give a shit what the surgeon general says

Here in Midland

Day to day year to year

Time moves slow and disappears

Folks pass through and leave her here

Here in Midland

Jenny drives down to Joes bar and grill

She unlocks the door and turns on the till

No one to serve just time to kill here in Midland

She grabs an ashtray and pulls up a stool

Lights a cigarette turn on the news

Says what is this world coming to

Here in Midland

Day to day year to year

Time moves slow and disappears

Folks pass through and leave her here

Here in Midland

Jenny gets home at 3 a.

m

Pulls her pockets out and goes to bed

She’ll get back up at half past ten

Here in Midland

Here in Midland

Round here in Midland

Round here in Midland

Round here in Midland

Round here in Midland

Round here in Midland
