Main Street Lyrics & Chords By Gretchen Peters

LyricsView Chords

Right through the middle of our town
A two lane, two way highway comes rollin' down
It used to be quite busy around here
But then they put a mall out there and the freeway came last year

Nobody stops here anymore, they're only passin' through
Nothin' much to look at and there's nothing here to do
Just an old newspaper blowin' at my feet
Down on Main Street

Old Mr. Arnold finally sold the store
He started out on main street back before the war
He says business wasn't booming anyway
He says he and that old neighborhood have seen their better day

But he remembers how it was in 1945
When they marched out all the boys who made it home alive
And the girls were throwing roses at their feet
Down on Main Street

Down on Main Street, they're sellin' memories real low
Goin' out of business, everything must go

Like old forgotten faces without names
The storefronts and the sidewalks and the boarded window frames
And there's the corner record store
Where I discovered rock n' roll so many years before

But now I walk these empty streets and I listen for that sound
I listen for the rhythm in the heart of this old town
I listen for the slow and steady beat
Down on Main Street
