Quiet Town

There goes another plane roaring over our heads

Yeah, I miss the days when we lived in a quiet town

Where people walked how they talked

And they meant when they said

You got a friend you can count on

Guess me and you, we’re a fortunate few

Lucky to have had that at all to lose

And I’m willing to bet, we’re not the only ones left

Missin’ a quiet town

They’re moving in with concrete, and stone, and those gray skyline homes

Remember when we lived in a quiet town?

Where the stars shined brighter than the city lights there

And the crickets still sang after sundown

Guess me and you, we’re a fortunate few

Lucky to have had that at all to lose

And I’m willing to bet, we’re not the only ones left

Missin’ a quiet town

I still dream and pray

I wish it could've been saved

Those simpler days

That quiet old way

If you came in on the new roads instead of the old

Well, you’d never know this used to be a quiet town

Where the wind in the trees, and the buzz of the bees

And the songbird’s song wasn't all drowned out

Yeah, me and you, we’re a fortunate few

Lucky to have had that at all to lose

But I’m willing to bet we’re not the only ones left

Missin’ a quiet town

Yeah, I’m placing my bet there’s more like us out there

Missin’ some quiet town
