Local paper said eighty kids graduated this year Only a handful will settle for sticking ‘round here Downtown's been a ghost town since ‘73 When those factories shut down and moved them jobs overseas Now we’re just a boom town that went bust And the whole state's laughing at us 'Cause we got One water tower, one red light One Dairy Queen to go on a Friday night One high school, one cop car One too many ways to go a little too far One year this town had something to believe in We might’ve lost a lot but we had one winning season Nobody thought we’d win a game or even come close Playing on a field where not even the grass would grow Couple touchdowns and first downs changed everyone’s minds And those bleachers started filling up on the home team side Everyone cheered at homecoming that year For once they were proud to be from here Where we got One water tower, one red light One Dairy Queen to go on a Friday night One high school, one cop car One too many ways to go a little too far One year this town had something to believe in We might’ve lost a lot but we had one winning season There was a parade right down main street Marching band played and the crowd went crazy Didn't win 'em all but it felt like we did And no one will ever forget that we got One water tower, one red light One Dairy Queen to go on a Friday night One high school, one cop car One too many ways to go a little too far One year this town had something to believe in We might’ve lost a lot but we had one winning season Oh yeah, just one Oh... One gas station One Dollar Store That might not be a lot But you don't need much more You just need one You just need one
