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)
