A small town kid with the big city blues
As he stepped on board the 802
"Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
The guard shot him down and as he lay there dyin'
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, yeah
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
People gathered 'round and they swore they heard him say
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high, high
He could hear his daddy say
Took a gun and he stole a car and he was on his way
Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
And you're the pride of Franklin County
Don't you leave your natural home" Oh, yeah
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
He robbed a bank, oh, he didn't see the guard
But he wanted more so he went away
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home"
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Well, he got tough, Lord, he was hard, yeah
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
But the pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own
He wanted more so he went astray
"Listen to the big bell a ringin' on the hillside
A yearnin' heart and taped up shoes, yeah
