Main street U.S.A. boarded up and dry Knowing what once was here just makes me want to cry Used to be the favorite place, yeah Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase Old man Johnson's store, where we grew up too fast All that remains today are echoes from the past Used to be a booming town, yeah Now all that's left is either boarded up or broken down [Chorus:] Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh Where we used to belong There ain't nobody home Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh You can knock all you want But, ain't nobody home Packed up, moved away, running from the past Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass Used to be a busy town, yeah Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around [Chorus] Was a newsstand on the corner Right next to the barber shop And down the street there That's where all the kids would stop And they would tease the neigbor's bulldog Laugh and run away And now there's no one left Who knows the truth in what you say [Chorus]
