Lyrics Standing On The Edge Of Town - Tom Paxton
I
was
born
in
the
middle
of
this
old
town,
About
thirty-one
years
ago,
I
worked
like
a
dog
on
the
factory
line,
It's
just
about
all
that
I
know;
Well
I
was
doing
great,
I
never
showed
up
late
I
did
all
a
man
could
do,
Till
I
found
a
note
in
my
pay
envelope
Saying
"That's
all
she
wrote
for
you"
And
I'm
standing
on
the
edge
of
town,
Gonna
get
chilly
when
the
sun
goes
down;
Cardboard
suitcase
full
of
my
clothes,
Where
I'm
headin'
just
the
good
Lord
knows.
You
know
they
got
a
machine
where
I
used
to
stand,
Just
as
funny
lookin'
as
can
be,
Sayin',
"Sorry
boys,
but
you
gotta
go"
That
meant
Jimmy
and
Billy
and
me;
Well
I
guess
I'm
lucky
cos
I
got
no
kids,
And
I'm
one
o'
those
bachelor
men,
But
Jimmy's
got
four
and
Billy's
got
two,
And
I
sure
feel
bad
about
them.
And
I'm
standing
on
the
edge
of
town,
Gonna
get
chilly
when
the
sun
goes
down;
Cardboard
suitcase
full
of
my
clothes,
Where
I'm
headin'
just
the
good
Lord
knows.
Well
that
machine
is
pretty
and
it
fast
as
a
devil,
And
it's
just
one
thing
that
I
see;
You
can
bet
the
boss
he
didn't
take
no
loss,
It
was
Jimmy
and
Billy
and
me.
And
I'm
standing
on
the
edge
of
town,
Gonna
get
chilly
when
the
sun
goes
down;
Cardboard
suitcase
full
of
my
clothes,
Where
I'm
headin'
just
the
good
Lor
