Long ago, but not so very long ago,
|
the world was different, oh yes it was.
|
You settled down and you built a town and made it live,
|
and you watched it grow, it was your town.
|
|
Time goes by, time brings changes, you change too.
|
Nothing comes that you can't handle so on you go.
|
You never see it coming, when the world caves in on you,
|
on your town, there's nothing you can do.
|
|
Main street isn't main street anymore.
|
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before.
|
To tell the truth, lights don't shine at all,
|
in our town.
|
|
Sun comes up each morning, just like it's always done,
|
get up, go to work, and start the day.
|
You open up for business, it's never gonna come,
|
as the world rolls by, a million miles away.
|
|
Main street isn't main street, anymore.
|
No one seems to need us, like they did before.
|
It's hard to find a reason left to stay,
|
but it's our town, We love it anyway.
|
|
Come what may, it's our town.
