作词 : Taylor | |
If i could go down now | |
While the whole town is sleeping | |
See the sun creeping up on the hill | |
I know the river and the railroad | |
Would run through the valley still | |
I guess it never was much to look at | |
Just a one-horse town | |
The kind of place young people want to leave today | |
Store fronts pretty much boarded up | |
Main street pretty much closed down | |
The church bell still rings on sunday | |
Old folks still go | |
The young ones listen on the radio | |
Saturday night nothing but a stray dog running wild | |
Like nobody's child | |
And little by little, light after light | |
That's how it died | |
They say you never go home again | |
That's no lie | |
Its like a letter in the mail | |
To a brother in jail | |
It's a matter of time | |
Until you can do a little bit better time | |
It used to be part of the heartland | |
Awful proud and strong | |
But deep, deep down peaceful and serene | |
When people used to talk about the country | |
That's what they used to mean | |
I might go down come the weekend | |
Go on my own | |
Drop off annie and the baby | |
Maybe drive alone | |
Pay my last respects to a time | |
That has all but gone | |
We said, mama come look at the mountain | |
Fire in the sky | |
It's lit up like the fourth of july | |
The mill burning down | |
The jobs leaving town | |
The trains rolling by | |
And little by little, light after light | |
That's how it died | |
They say you never go home again | |
That's no lie | |
It's just a letter in the mail | |
To a brother in jail | |
It's a matter of time | |
Until you can do a little bit better time |
