Welcome to ray

What makes a town they say
Is it the people
Is it the place
Some things last
Some things fade
Some things you don't notice
'Til they're gone
If you notice them at all

It only took one day
To lose the town of Ray
Bulldozed into clay
The town of Ray

What makes a home they say
Roof overhead
To keep out
All the rain
And everyone feels safe
When it's bitter
And it's cold
Home is where you want to go

It only took one day
To lose the town of Ray
Bulldozed into clay
The town of Ray

Trailers line the lane
Mobile homes that came to stay
Now the welcome sign
Is all that's left of Ray

What really happened
Who can say
Did they up and leave
Or slowly drift away
I don't know why
I want to know these things
I just know
I like the name
