This used to be the kind of town You buy a place and settle down Raise a family and hang around That's the way that it used to be 12 years of school with the same ol' kids Talk about getting away from this But then you'd do just like your mama and daddy did That's the way that it used to be But then the money came in and almost over night Turned all the collars from blue to white Aw man it was a helluva sight Now it ain't how it used to be Now Main Street shines like a diamond And the people all look like dolls And everything's practically perfect Man's it's hard to believe But it ain't how it used to be Earl's Fruit Stand used to sit over there Now it's a place called Mercantile Square Sells used blue jeans, $200 a pair That ain't how it used to be Dotson's served fried chicken right here Now it's called Malone's and sells wax for your beard The square's full of Vespa's instead of John Deere's That ain't how it used to be Now Main Street shines like a diamond And the people all look like dolls And everything's practically perfect Man's it's hard to believe But it ain't how it used to be That's the way that it used to be But then the money came in and almost over night Turned all the collars from blue to white Aw man it was a helluva sight Now it ain't how it used to be I drove through the other day And I know that sometimes things have to change It's a lot nicer now but I smile when I think About how it used to be Now Main Street shines like a diamond And the people all look like dolls And everything's practically perfect Man's it's hard to believe if you grew up here like me But it ain't how it used to be
