lyrics

Underneath the shadows of the smokestack row
Can't see the stars or the clouds below
They callin' it the Richmond refinery
I'm callin' it a mess of the worst degree

Grew up half a mile right from this place
When Moms up and left without a trace
Sister had the asthma, Papa had the cough
Mama had a pain that she couldn't turn off

Gonna shine, really shine,
Ole Richmond got punished but committed no crime
Gonna shine, let it shine
Gonna shine like a steel guitar sometime

Coulda been a sergeant, coulda been the law
Ended up running thru a big buzzsaw
As we sit and stare at the punch bowl brink
Wishin' we could all take a moment and think

Gonna shine, really shine,
Ole Richmond got punished but committed no crime
Gonna shine, let it shine
Gonna shine like a steel guitar sometime

Makes no sense to be layin' roots here
If what they're brewin' kills the atmosphere
They're tearing through my hood like the Amazon
All that we can do is say "Fuck Chevron"

Gonna shine, really shine Ole Richmond got punished but committed no crime Gonna shine, let it shine, Gonna shine like a steel guitar sometime

Underneath the shadow of the smokestack row
Smack dab in the middle of the smokestack row
