Seven Guys In Wallace

Six guys in Wallace
Six guys downtown
Drinkin' and laughin'
Sharing the life they've found
They talk about Wallace
They point to the woods
Six guys at a table
They wouldn't leave here if they could

Seven girls are approaching
The guys turn their heads
They gesture and smile
I know exactly what they said
Now the girls start dancing
Just the girls on the floor
All of a sudden
It's 1964

(chorus)
Down in Wallace
Down in the valley of lead
Something still calls us
Though the lights are a little less red

If you can afford it
And I'll bet that you can
Roll into Wallace
And throw away your plan
Sample the water
And maybe the girls
This chamber of commerce
Offers another world

Chorus

The sidewalks are silver
Not what's underground
The moon over Wallace
Is having another round
Six guys in Wallace
They're giving it a whirl
I'm entering this picture
Weren't there seven pretty girls?

Chorus
