Old Town Road

Her white lines are faded
Blacktop stone jaded
'Cause you can find her now in the run down part of town
But you know back in her day
She rolled out center stage
Right through town, so clean and so proud
But they built the city to the west
With brand new wider streets
Like a soldier laid to rest
Then let go to the weeds
That's the Old Town Road

Out our drive and to the right
Two blocks down then you would find
Danny Carson's place where we'd sneak our cigarettes
Next to him was Mrs. Green,
With a back yard full of apple trees
She'd run us off but we'd grab all we could get
Mrs. Green passed on late last fall
I wonder where old Danny is
Man our old place is lookin' small
Compared to when I was a kid
On the Old Town Road

There's a lot of memories in the miles I've traveled since
Years replaced those simple days; still I'm taken in…
By the Old Town Road

Now there's been talk here as of late
To rip her out and renovate
And I don't quite know what that means to me
There's somethin' 'bout walkin' 'round
The very place you first fell down and skinned your knee
Without the trainin' wheels
I guess no matter what they do
I can go back in my mind
To a place with a perfect view
Of the innocence of time
On the Old Town Road
The Old Town Road
