Our Town

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

Never see it coming

The world caves in on you

On your town

Nothing you can do

Main street isn't main street anymore

Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before

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

Start the day

Open up for business

That'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

Love it anyway

Come what may it's our town
