VERSE;  I REMEMBER A country town   People were real people  And were proud  To say what they meant  Did what they said  I REMEMBER so well  This was where my children  And I were born. VERSE;  I REMEMBER this country town  Where people were loyal  And knew everyone  Neighbors were friendly  Not afraid to call  I REMEMBER  Oh, I REMEMBER  Not many years ago. CHORUS;  I REMEMBER when factories had to close  And generation farmers lost their farms  Friends and neighorbors lost their homes  Oh, I REMEMBER  I wonder where did the people go?  VERSE;  I REMEMBER the day I left  Kissed my mother  And tried not cry  I never saw not cry again  It  was more than a country town  It was a town  Where my ancestors farmed  Only a short time ago  BRIDGE; I REMEMBER  A sign read:  When the last   person leaves  Turn out the lights  I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER   Oh, I REMEMBER  CHORUS;  REPEAT  Wonder where did the people go.
