James Taylor - Our Town lyrics

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 live And you watched it grow, it was your town Time goes by, time brings changes, you 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 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, start the day You open up for business that's never gonna come As the world rolls by a million miles away
