James Taylor
"Our Town"

Long ago, but not so very long ago
the world was different, oh yes it was
You settled down and you build a town and made it there
and you watched it grow, it was you're town

Time goes by, time brings changes, you change 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, there's nothing you can do

Main street isn't main street anymore
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
To 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, and start the day
You open up for business, it's never gonna come
as the world roles 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, We love it anyway

Come what may, it's our town
