River City Gang - This Old Town lyrics

rate me

I GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY

NEAR THE CITY LIMIT SIGN

IN A LITTLE OLD HOUSE JUST A FEW MILES SOUTH

OF THE MASON DIXON LINE

AND I’VE SEEN YELLOW MONSTERS

TEAR THE TREES OUT OF THE GROUND

IN A YEAR AND A HALF MY OLD DIRT BIKE PATH

WAS BURIED BENEATH THIS TOWN

NOW LIESFELD’S FARM IS CONCRETE

AND THE GENERAL STORE’S LONG GONE

BUT IN OUR HEARTS THE MEMORIES WILL GO ON AND ON AND ON.

I’M LOOKIN FOR MY DIRT ROAD

THE LITTLE TOWN I KNOW

BUT THIS OLD TOWN HAS CHANGED

I’M LOOKING FOR MY OLD HOME

ALL THE PEOPLE I KNOW

BUT THIS OLD TOWN HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE NAME

I’VE SEEN GIANT OAK TREES

TURN TO NEON BILLBOARD SIGNS

AND THE HUNGRY DOORS OF BIG CHAIN STORES

EATING MOM AND POPS ALIVE

I’VE SEEN ROWS OF PARKED CARS GROW

OVER TOPS OF ROWS OF CORN

AND THE PEOPLE SEEDS THEY SPROUT LIKE WEEDS

ON OLD MAN NUCKOLS' FARM

NOW THREE CHOPT ROAD'S A HIGHWAY

AND LIESFELD’S COWS ARE GONE

BUT IN OUR HEARTS THE MEMORIES WILL GO ON AND ON AND ON

I’M LOOKIN FOR MY DIRT ROAD

THE LITTLE TOWN I KNOW

BUT THIS OLD TOWN HAS CHANGED

I’M LOOKING FOR MY OLD HOME

ALL THE PEOPLE I KNOW

BUT THIS OLD TOWN HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE NAME

SOLO

NOW THREE CHOPT

ROAD'S A HIGHWAY AND LIESFELD’S COWS ARE GONE

BUT IN OUR HEARTS THE MEMORIES WILL GO ON AND ON AND ON

I’M LOOKIN FOR MY DIRT ROAD

THE LITTLE TOWN I KNOW

BUT THIS OLD TOWN HAS CHANGED

I’M LOOKING FOR MY OLD HOME

ALL THE PEOPLE I KNOW

BUT THIS OLD TOWN HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE NAME
