Sad Small Town

People say you were really somethin' way back then Before you let yourself go to hell Before you let them win You broke down Like a relic, you were stuck in time Ivy crawlin' through the Five and Dime Where the talk was cheap I walk these streets I'm sorry for searchin' You got one street lamp on All the rest are down Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town I can see somethin' in the way you look at me Children swimmin' in the summer heat While the church bell sings There is charm in the overgrown schoolyard In the busted sign above the bar that reads "Come on in" I walk these streets and I scream "Is anybody listenin'" The train whistles back her only song Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town Ooh, oh yeah, yeah, uh huh History only repeats itself to make it clear There is beauty in the shatterin' of what we hold so dear Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town Our love is like a sad, small town
