Nothin' Main About Main Street

Walkin' with the ghost's of yesterday
Through the streets of my hometown
Dusty old papers and memories
Like tumbleweeds blowin' around
Nothin' but boarded up windows and locks on every door
There ain't nothin' 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 nothin' main about Main Street anymore

There was life in this old town
There was fighting and loving, winning and losing
Drinkin' and crusin' down Main Street in my old Ford
There ain't no going back to the way things were before
There ain't nothin' 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 leavin'
was the easy part
Now I still go down there to look around
but I don't know what I'm lookin' for
Cause, there ain't nothin' main about Main Street anymore

There was life in this old town
There was fighting and loving, winning and losing
Drinkin' and crusin' down Main Street in my old Ford
There ain't no going back to the way things were before
There ain't nothin' main about Main Street anymore

There was life in this old town
There was fighting and loving, winning and losing
Drinkin' and crusin' down Main Street in my old Ford
But, there ain't no going back to the way things were before
There ain't nothin' main about Main Street
Nothin' main about Main Street
There ain't nothin' main about Main Street anymore
Ohh, nothin' main about Main Street
Nothin', nothin' main about Main Street
Me and my friends crusin' in my old Ford
Yeah, up and down Main Street
Main Street
