Guntersville Gazette

Lyrics

Wasn't more than half a mile between the city limit sign The population's cut in half, the day they shut down the mine The only thing that hasn't changed, the way the gossip spreads Cindy Lou's nails & hairdos and the Guntersville Gazette When I got home from travelin', first paper I picked up Found the girl I thought was waitin', had waited long enough Right beside her smilin' face, under brides to be Said Saturday, Miss Mandy Chase would be Mrs. William McGee You never know from page to page whether you will laugh or cry One page a baby's born, on the next an old friend died Get advice from Gabby's corner, all of that for just a quarter I was raised there's three things, you never questioned what they said Grandpa, the gospel, and the Guntersville Gazette Two lonely concrete islands sticking above the ground Underneath heartbreakin' headlines, Humpy's Gas & Tires burned down Sally made the honor roll, the Cowboys finally beat the Jets Read all about it in the Guntersville Gazette You never know from page to page whether you will laugh or cry One page a baby's born, on the next an old friend died Get advice from Gabby's corner, all of that from just a quarter I was raised there's three things, you never questioned what they said Grandpa, the gospel, and the Guntersville Gazette Wise old men, a church house, a hand-cranked printin' press Grandpa, the gospel, and the Guntersville Gazette
