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