main street

Singer:brooks, garth

one light blinking off and on

blood of life in this town is gone

lost all its pieces but the pawn

tomorrow stopped coming with the dawn

in my dreams

i've seen

things that only seem to happen on the silver screen

when it's over there's no walking out

'cause i've been all they talk about

'cause what ain't goin' down on main street

never did the things i thought i would

woulda left just didn't know i could

if things don't work out like they should

it ain't for better but it's for good

in my dreams

i've seen

things that only seem to happen on the silver screen

when it's over there's no walking out

'cause i've been all they talk about

'cause what ain't goin' down on main street

i went too early with a friend of mine

just to see what it was all about

hit the freeway and it blew my mind

i had to find a way of gettin' out

she said

they say

hey you gotta live a little"
