Main Street Lyrics by Garth Brooks

Main Street

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"
In my mind, I'd find lost ain't living
Even there in the middle of main street
Yeah

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

'Cause 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

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
