This song is about changes in our lives .
Story behind the song
True story where I grew up ....
Lyrics
It was only a century ago
And I've lived half that time
I remember when icecream was a nickel
And a coke was just a dime
Got my first job for fifty cents an hour
After school at the hardware store
I drove by there the other night
It was'nt there anymore
They built a superstore over the baseball field
Put a highway cross the dam
And cut the trees down on Tobacco road
Where we used to smoke and stand
There's a new church on the corner
Where people pray to forgive (Chorus)
And there's a parking lot right on the spot
Where my Grandpa used to live
There's a big tall building downtown
Where the theatre used to be
The old town halls a daycare centre
Thats something we didn't need
There's a homeless man on the corner
Well thats something I'd never seen
And when I was young there were no strip clubs
Just girlie magazines
(Chorus)
There's people walking all around
Don.t know whats beneith their feet
A hundred years of living
And keeping this country free
The old creeks dried up now
There's no place to fish or swim
And there's not as many stars above
As there was back then
(Chorus)
