  • In a town that i once knew, living was good,
  • There where people gathered  around  every Friday night, Beer lined streets, music cranked loud,, we all ran wild and didn't even care.
  • Up at the pool hall, was tha place to chill, you could drink,,smoke, and find cheap thrills.
  • O'l, Donnie, Dave, and Homer, hustled the game, Runnin Poker every night in an old grey bus, 
  • passing there whisky and actin, a fool, And if ya didn't know em Well they were the original Crew.
  • Now Homer's since past, But legends live on, those times were good, and I'd  Re-live em all.
  • But oh, how the times have changed, O'l Pathfork  just ain't the same,
  • Now there's meth in the  streets, needles in tha ditches, the baby's are starving cause there mommas won't feed em.
  • Damn what a shame, tha pathfork we knew,,will never be tha same.
  • Its gone to Hell, and aint coming back, but the good Folks ain't at fault,, You can blame the meth for that.
  • Aint no law gonna come up here, cause they arrest tha innocent, and praise tha guilty,
  • There scared to death to make a change,
  • they just set back and count the bags, and let the junkies kill there selves,
  • The prisons overcrowded, and jails overflowing,
  • all my buddy's are locked up for stealing and robbing,
  • Yeah this may of saved em for now, but soon they'll be free,
  • And when they roll back through, up 72 
  • Meth said, he's Got, em. cause the pills aint workin Like they used to.
  • Drugs took my soul, and spun me out, Lost my freedom, lost my family and everything I owned,
  • In a town that i once knew iving was good. People gathered around every Friday night.
  • It used to be drink and smoke, now it's tweek and Geek, everythigs burnt, and Half the people are dead, 
  • Most are still kickin, and most Moved on, but the ones that's left keep rolling on.
  • It's a zombie town, Pathfork is gone, 
  • It'll never be the same, methamphetamine took it's soul, it's gone to hell.And ain't home no more...
