City Streets Lyrics

Went back home to visit after twelve years

Just had to fight back the tears

Nothing I saw around me was the same

My heart was heavy oh what a shame

Driving down the road sure felt lost

Looking at country side that I came across

Once was farm ground now a shopping center

What a waste all this could been prevented

God can't be pleased with what's going on

What was a good life now is gone

Once was grass fields our animals to eat

All of this was turned into city streets

Out on the four lane they just built

Tore down the old church with no guilt

Today people think don't need that old church

Say we must keep our modern time first

Old swimming hole where the church baptized

Today its the towns water supply

Main Street had two red lights been taken out

Down Main Street today has two roundabouts

God can't be pleased with what's going on

What was a good life now is gone

Once was grass fields our animals to eat

All of this turned into city streets

All of this was turned into city streets
