OUR TOWN. James Taylor cover.

---

I first heard "Our Town" in 2009 while watching the Disney·Pixar film Cars with my son.
This song was written by Randy Newman and recorded by James Taylor who made it an international hit.
The song is a ballad that recounts the economic decline of the fictional town
of Radiator Springs and this story resenbles very much the story of my home town.
Please take a listen and let me know if you like my version.

The lyrics:

Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was different, oh yes, it was
You settled down and you built a town and made it live
And you watched it grow, it was your town
Time goes by, time brings changes, you changed too
Nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go
You never see it coming when the world caves in on you
On your town, there's nothing you can do
Main street isn't main street anymore
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
To tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
In our town
Sun comes up each morning, just like it's always done
Get up, go to work, start a new day
You open up for business that's never gonna come
As the world rolls by a million miles away
Main street isn't main street anymore
No one seems to need us like they did before
It's hard to find a reason left to stay
But it's our town, love it anyway
Come what may, it's our town
