Nothin' Main About Main Street

(album: It's About Pride - 2012)

Walking with the ghost's of yesterday
Through the streets of my hometown
Dusty old papers and memories
Like tumbleweeds blowing around
Nothing but boarded up windows and locks on every door
There ain't nothing main about Main Street anymore

The marquee on the Regal hasn't changed since '69
And that old broken down merry go round's still in
front of the five and dime
And that upstairs pool hall's gone along with the liquor store
There ain't nothing main about Main Street anymore

There was life in this old town
There was fighting and loving, winning and losing
Drinking and crusing down Main Street in my old Ford
There ain't no going back to the way things were before
There ain't nothing main about Main Street anymore

Big John never came back from Viet Nam
His mama died of a broken heart
Suzy's daddy got mean when he drank so her leaving
was the easy part
Now I still go down there to look around
but I don't know what I'm looking for
Cause, there ain't nothing main about Main Street anymore

There was life in this old town
There was fighting and loving, winning and losing
Drinking and crusing down Main Street in my old Ford
There ain't no going back to the way things were before
There ain't nothing main about Main Street anymore

There was life in this old town
There was fighting and loving, winning and losing
Drinking and crusing down Main Street in my old Ford
But, there ain't no going back to the way things were before
There ain't nothing main about Main Street
Nothing main about Main Street
There ain't nothing main about Main Street anymore
Ohh, nothing main about Main Street
Nothing, nothing main about Main Street
Me and my friends crusing in my old Ford
Yeah, up and down Main Street
Main Street
