Finding God In The Music: Quiet Town

Quiet TownThe KillersA couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific trainCarrying sheet metal and household appliancesThrough the pouring rainThey were planning on getting married after graduationHad a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it downThings like that ain't supposed to happenIn this quiet townFamilies are tightGood people,They still don't deadbolt their doors at nightIn this quiet townWhen we first heard opioid storiesThey were always in whispering tonesNow banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homesParents wept through daddy's girl eulogiesAnd merit badge milestones with their daughters and sonsLaying there lifeless in their suits and gownsSomebody's been keeping secretsIn this quiet townThey know how to liveGood people who lean on JesusThey're quick to forgiveIn this quiet townNow whenever I'm near the townI'll find some reason to giveAnd I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to liveAnd every time I see my parents in the prime of their livesOffering their son the kind of love he could never put downPart of me is still that stainless kid, luckyIn this quiet townSalt of the landHard-working people, if you're in troubleThey'll lend you a handHere in this quiet townThe first crop of hay is upSchool let out and the sun beats downSmoke billows from a Sunday trainThat cries away from a quiet town
