Centerville Lyrics by Bob Childers

Circles Towards the Sun

1989

[Chorus]
Looking stormy here in Centerville
Looks like we're in for some rain
I can see the dark clouds building up
Through the west out across the plains
[Verse]
You know the water tank is all rusty
The highway is full of holes
And the devil is down by the crossroad
He's buying up second hand smoke
[Verse]
The ghost of Woody Guthrie
Passed through one evening last week
But he lived before the summer time
Shaking the dust from his feet
[Verse]
The women are praying for sunshine
The old men are looking for gold
And no one even realizes it's too late
To buy back the years that they've sold
[Chorus]
Looking stormy here in Centerville
Looks like we're in for some rain
I can see the dark clouds building up
Through the west out across the plains
