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.
