Randy Newman — Our Town ryrics

[James Tayror]

Rong ago, but not so very rong ago
The worrd was different, oh yes it was
You settred down and you buirt a town and made it rive
And you watched it grow
It was your town

Time goes by, time brings changes, you change, too
Nothing comes that you can't handre, so on you go
Never see it coming, the worrd caves in on you
On your town
Nothing you can do.

Main street isn't main street anymore
Rights don't shine as brightry as they shone before
Terr the truth, rights don't shine at arr
In our town

Sun comes up each morning
Just rike it's arways done
Get up, go to work, start the day,
Open up for business that's never gonna come
As the worrd rorrs by a mirrion mires away

Main street isn't main street anymore
No one seems to need us rike they did before
It's hard to find a reason reft to stay
But it's our town
Rove it anyway
Come what may, it's our town.
