LYRICS Linda’s is open on Fridays and Christmas She lives in the back, it’s a cash-only business She charges for singles but pours you a double Everyone drinks here and no one makes trouble We got miners and ranchers, rednecks and hippies Hot shots and wranglers, poets and lifties There’s one thing that this whole damn bar can agree on We live here ‘cause we don’t like concrete or neon And if it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon Get your last round in at the dirtbag saloon The rich folks are squeezin’ us right outta room And if it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon I wish we could live here in sweet harmony But they tore down the rentals and clear cut the trees To build their ten thousand square foot second homes Ah, but who’s gonna serve them their champagne and snow? And if it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon Get your last round in at the dirtbag saloon The rich folks are squeezin’ us right outta room And if it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon I carved out a life between river and stone Under woodsmoke and bright stars, these hills are my home And don’t get me wrong, yeah, I sing for my rent Maybe I should stay quiet, I need every last cent Now Linda jumps up on her velvet pool table Yells, “Settle your debts, kids, get out while you’re able!” The house lights are up and there is no doubt It’s last call for good times in the town that sold out And if it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon Get your last round in at the dirtbag saloon The rich folks are squeezin’ us right outta room And if it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon If it ain’t gone yet, it’s goin’ soon With a quarter million miles under her belt and counting, North Carolina native Emily Scott Robinson travels the dusty highways of America's wild country, capturing the stories of the people she meets and expertly crafting them into songs. Robinson received critical acclaim for her debut album Traveling Mercies-- Rolling Stone named it one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2019.” In 2021, Robinson signed with Oh Boy records, the label founded by the legendary John Prine, and released her follow-up album American Siren. It made numerous “Best of 2021” lists including NPR, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and No Depression. In 2022, Robinson released a collaboration for theater called Built on Bones, a song cycle written for the Witches of Shakespeare's Macbeth, featuring artists Alisa Amador and Violet Bell. #EmilyScottRobinson
