They're building up big houses Back behind the school Where we used to drink Our beer on Friday nights
And pretend that We were lovers in your car
We can't afford to live there So we drive on past their marble and glass
Hoping that this blue collar town of ours
Won't ever lose its balls
I was just a little girl
When your hand brushed by my hand
And I will be an old woman Happy to have spent My whole life with one man
Behind that school we found romance
We laid in the dirt and took off our shirts While the lucky ones would fly away On planes to other cities, other towns
Now they're building up houses
Big enough to lose your love Big enough to never even see
One another in the dark
I was just a little girl
When your hand brushed by my hand
And I will be an old woman
Happy to have spent My whole life with one man
One man, one town is all I need A simple plan to guide me Through the simple life I lead I have seen the ocean And I have seen the sky I do not need a big house Or the ability to fly
We'll remember the summers
The crumbling town streets Running from police And acting like we'd leave this place The minute we ever had the chance
I was just a little girl
When your hand brushed by my hand
And I will be an old woman
Happy to have spent My whole life with one man
