Where's My Town
Words and Music by Mark Clement Adams (BMI)

Where’s my town now
When did all of this go down
Where’s my town now
What the who and how

Population eight hundred and five
Turned ten thousand over night
It used to be stop sign
And now it’s stoplight, stoplight, stoplight
Stoplight, stoplight, stoplight

Where’s my town now
When did all of this go down
Where’s my town now
What the who and how

Mom and Pop had a Mom and Pop
And Uncle Louie had an auto shop
They couldn’t compete they had to sell
Enter big chains and what the hell

Where’s my town now
When did all of this go down
Where’s my town now
What the who and how

We’ve got new smoke stacks everywhere but then
We had one feed and granary way back when
Too many Jaguars, too many cougars
Tommy Bahama wearing sideways shooters
People putting houses on the top of the hill
When we used to tuck ‘em back in the trees and be chill
Big old signs and giant gates saying
“Look what we did and aren’t we great?”
You flaunt your money when you jaunt downtown
You push the thorn in and you wiggle it around
Give us a break and take a vacation
A permanent one in another location
Or at least be cool and try to calm down
Tip your hat to those who’ve been around
Have some respect and some consideration
For the low key slow feel past generations ahh…

Where’s my town now
When did all of this go down
Where’s my town now
