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 there
And you watched it grow, it was your town
- C -- G --
Time goes by and time brings changes
You've changed too
Nothing comes that you can't handle
So on you go
You never see it coming
When 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
C --------------- G-------------|
------|
The sun comes up each morning just like it's always done
Get up, go to work and start the day
You 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 needs 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
