greg brown - our little town lyrics
now the railroad came generations ago
and the town grew up as the crops did grow
the crops grew well and the town did too
they say it’s dyin now and there ain’t a thing we can do
i don’t have to read the news
or hear it on the radio
i see it in the faces of everyone i know
the cost goes up
what we made comes down
what’s gonna happen to our little town
the summer is full of thunder
the kids run and play
momma got a new wrinkle
poppa ain’t got much to say
rust grows along the railroad track
the young folks leave
they don’t come back
and i don’t have to read the news
or hear it on the radio
i see it in the faces of everyone i know
the boards go up
the signs come down
what’s gonna happen to our little town
tom lost his farm
and we lost tom
he left in the night
i don’t know where he’s gone
what he’d lost
he just couldn’t face
what we’re losin’ can’t be replaced
i don’t have to read the news
or hear it on the radio
i see it in the faces of everyone i know
the reason we’re here
is the farms around
so what’s gonna happen to our little town
we’ve seen hard times
many times before
maybe this whole thing is just one more
it never was perfect
maybe no one’s to blame
to see it die like this
it’s a god d-mned shame
and i don’t have to read the news
or hear it on the radio
i see it in the faces of everyone i know
the sun comes up
the sun goes down
but what’s gonna happen to our little town
