We’ve all seen these places, that just seem to have been lost in time
The new four lane highway came along, and it just passed it by

As I sit here alone and gaze down this lonely empty overgrown lane
In my mind I can envision years ago, when it wasn’t near the same

I see that time so many years ago, that have flown by us now
When the empty buildings were bustling with people in this little town

The old Opry House had a packed house at the show on Saturday night
While the little corner drug store was busy dipping ice cream they liked

Yes, it is sad these lost little towns are idle and just left to fade away
While their wooden sidewalks and painted store windows have yet to decay

It’s as if the wood sidewalks and painted store windows refuse to let go and die

Almost as if they are begging for help for revival, from strangers who pass bye

But as we know, life goes on, and the progress, I know it will never stop
I just hope my grandkids will one day see, this old Opry House and corner soda shop

From My World to Yours,
Bob Baker
