Paroles Used to be a City de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de Used to be a City

I was young once, it was a long time agoThings were different then, I thought that you should knowThis old building was once a factoryWe made Stetsons, your grandpa and meIt wasn't easy, but at least life was going down;There used to be a city in this townThis rusted railyard had a hotel and a couple of storesWe had good times here between the warsIt wasn't paradise but there was music in the streetRight there is where your grandparents first had a chance to meetThey got married in that church, I can still see her wedding gown;There used to be a city in this townWhen the change came, it started one by one:First the layoffs, then the factory was gone,Then came the highways, the suburbs and Wal-Mart;That was the final blow that tore this place apartBut it seems like just last year when there were people all around;There used to be a city in this townThe census says there's people here but I think someone's confusedJust look out at these sidewalks, they're not being usedYou know when a city dies, it doesn't die with graceIt just becomes a ruin, shouting this was once the placeGuess it's time to leave, but I don't know where I'd be bound;There used to be a city in this town
