There's a factory standing empty
Where we built your Chevrolet
And we sent our kids to college on a 40 hours wage
But now the windows all are broken
There's graffiti on the walls
And the kids came home from college
Took a job down at the mall
And the winter is getting longer
And this town is frozen numb
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never come
There's a half-full wiskey bottle
On the table by my bed
There's a hollow in the pillow
Where she used to lay her head
And all the dreams
And all the memories
Faded pictures and crooked frames
Hang in silence down the hallway
In the chill of what remains
Now the winter is getting colder
And my heart is frozen numb
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never come
Shades of hopeless on the faces
Of the souls who stand in line
And holy Jesus hangs on crosses
And I hear Mother Mary crying
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Soon it all will dissapear
Burried under the snows of winter
Just like we all were never here
Where we built your Chevrolet
And we sent our kids to college on a 40 hours wage
But now the windows all are broken
There's graffiti on the walls
And the kids came home from college
Took a job down at the mall
And the winter is getting longer
And this town is frozen numb
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never come

And all the memories

In the chill of what remains
