Scranton
PA.

Words and Music by Jim Cullen

 

Sing about progress sing about hope

Sometimes you feel you’ve reached the end of your rope

But I’m only someone who’s watching you try

To rebuild your future from the days gone by

 

All the young people leaving their homes

Move to big cities

Leave you alone

But places like that can be cold when they’re hot

Don’t try to be that

Something you’re not

 

Oh Scranton Pa. look who you are

Part of a great country    part of a star

Scranton Pa. give me a break

It’s only fair that you give when you take

 

Talk to your neighbors what do they say

If you’ve got something why do you stay?

Urging you off to be on your way

But what do they know of the price you pay

 

Oh Scranton Pa. look what you are

Part of a great country    part of a star

Scranton Pa. give me a break

It’s only fair that you give when you take

 

Riding the rail bound for glory    Another chapter to your story

Don’t worry

 

Making your comeback

Put up a fight

We all hope the moves that you make will be right

But if you should fail don’t quit for they say

Tomorrow will bring you a brand-new day

 

Oh Scranton Pa. look where you are

Part of a great country    part of a star

Scranton Pa. give me a break

It’s only fair that you give when you take

 

Scranton Pa. give me a break

It’s only fair that you give when you take
