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
