The Lone Butte Song lyrics

Some people like to be together, while others like to be apart.
And some towns have a way of growin` that`s more in the heart.
Like this little ol` town by the railroad tracks
The `Lone Butte` ain`t lonely at all
And they sure have a good time in their old community hall.

They talk to one another across the tables
And they move their chairs around.
They don`t want to organize a close knit circle
That no one could walk inside
And here everybody knows everybody
And somebody who once knew you!
And you`re bound to have a good time
When you`re dancin` at the `Butte`.

CHORUS:
Who lives at the Lone Butte? On the map Lone Butte!
Don`t laugh at Lone Butte - most people Ha! Ha! Ha!
`You live at Lone Butte?`, `Where is Lone Butte?`
Show them the Lone - Lone Butte!

Well Old Man Time hasn`t taken away
The old Lone Butte Hotel.
And Ol Tom he has more stoppin` in
Since the health board closed him down. (Closed him down).
He`s just an ol` cow man in a hat and cigar
Who only wants to be himself.
And he`s livin` out his last dreams
Runnin` the old Lone Butte Hotel. (CHORUS)

Well she`s not far down Highway 24, she`s part of the Cariboo
And just out of town once a volcano - stands the Lone Butte.
And the pioneers buried by her side spoke of a `fire within`
Though time blew away the mountain the core is still standin`. (CHORUS)
