Our Town Lyrics - James Taylor

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
