about

This has been The Bronsons' signature song since we first performed it around 1984. Written by guitarist Chaz and ex-harp player John Friend, 9 times out of 10 it's our opening number when we play live. Welcome to RnBVille!

lyrics

Well I'm pumping all my money in the fag machine
Crying in my beer while my lungs turn green
Sitting in a bar getting pissed again
Cos it's the only way to get out of the rain

In RnBville
Playing in those steel-shop yards
Learned to lose my life at cards
Guess that I was born unlucky in RnBville in Kentucky

At a corner table I can see my friends
Plotting to steal my woman again
I work all day on the factory floor
And they're forming a queue at my back door

In RnBville
That's the way your buddies are
Makes a man fall in love with his car
Guess I'm just a lonely boy in RnBville, Illinois

And the road map reads like it ought to be sung
But there's no way out of the cold
When I went to bed I thought I was young
I woke up this morning to find I'm old

Now my faith has been rewarded
I fought the law guess who won the law did
Now 76 harmonicas wail
In the cold corridors of the county jail

In RnBville
Bread and water is a boring diet
Time to start another riot
Guess I could escape and go to RnBville, Mexico
Guess I'm just a lonely boy in RnBville, Illinois
Guess I will remain unlucky in RnBville in Kentucky
Guess I'm just a lonely boy
