Our Town
Composer(s): Randy Newman; Unspecified Enemies
Performer(s): James Taylor; Neil Donell



Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was a different places, oh yes it was
You settled down, and you built a town, and you made it there
And you watched it grow, it was your town

Time goes by, and time brings changes and you change 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, there’s nothing you can do

Mainstreet isn’t mainstreet anymore
Lights don’t shine as brightly as they’ve shone before
To tell the truth lights done shine at all, in our town

Sun comes up each morning, just like it’s always done
Get up, go to work and start the day
You open up for business that’s never gonna come
As the world rolls by a million miles away

Mainstreet isn’t mainstreet anymore
No one seem to need us like they did before
It’s hard to find reason left to stay
But it’s our town, we love it anyway
Come what may, it’s our town
