Story behind the song

This song is in part about when someone leaves you because of your circumstances and your inability to rise above them.  Based in part of a gal from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, another from Whittier, California, and still a couple more from Fullerton, California.

(Originally recorded for Confessions of Young Moderns: Song Inspired by Bill Nelson – Bird Ornaments Productions 2000)© 2005 Coastal Cowboys

In the town that I come from, 
nothing much moves before the noontime sun
The clock strikes eight, 
roll up the streets and bolt the gates
Tuck your little head on in at Sleepy Town

Around the corner there lived my girl, 
prettiest girl in the wide world
With her plans to be, Plans that didn’t include me
How they going to keep her down in Sleepy Town

Sleepy Town, Sleepy Town, 
we’re as happy as pie right here in Sleepy Town

Dropped her off at the town’s bus stop, 
she blew a kiss to the town’s only cop
Her world’s all pack, 
ain’t no way my baby’s ever coming back
She woke up and walked right out of Sleepy Town

Last time she called I don’t remember, 
received her final letter post marked the 31st of December

Late at night awake in bed, 
my thoughts short out inside my head
Headphones on the pillow, 
I’m an electric weeping willow
Burned out and down and out here in my Sleepy Town

Sleepy Town, Sleepy Town, 
Thought she was all talk, 
then she dreamed and walked, 
got herself out of this old Sleepy Town
