Lyrics

[00:38.97] Long ago, but not so very long ago
[00:47.55] The world was different, oh yes it was
[00:56.13] You settled down and you built a town and made it live
[01:02.92] And you watched it grow
[01:06.21] It was your town
[01:17.48] Time goes by, time brings changes, you change, too
[01:25.96] Nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go
[01:34.24] Never see it coming, the world caves in on you
[01:43.12] On your town
[01:47.61] Nothing you can do.
[01:52.10] Main street isn't main street anymore
[02:00.58] Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
[02:09.36] Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
[02:17.65] In our town
[02:31.01] Sun comes up each morning
[02:34.31] Just like it's always done
[02:39.79] Get up, go to work, start the day,
[02:47.88] Open up for business that's never gonna come
[02:55.86] As the world rolls by a million miles away
[03:04.73] Main street isn't main street anymore
[03:13.41] No one seems to need us like they did before
[03:21.99] It's hard to find a reason left to stay
[03:30.47] But it's our town
[03:35.46] Love it anyway
[03:39.55] Come what may, it's our town.
[03:51.02]
