EmWalkin' with the ghost's of Gyesterday through the Cstreets of my hometown
EmDusty old papers and Gmemories like Ctumbleweeds blowin' around
AmNothin' but boarded up windows and Emlocks on every door
There ain't Cnothin' main about DMain Street anymoEmreG  C  C  
[Verse 2]
The Emmarquee on the GRegal hasn't Cchanged since '69
And that Emold broken down Gmerry go round's still in Cfront of the five and dime
And that Amupstairs pool hall's gone aEmlong with the liquor store
There ain't Cnothin' main about DMain Street anymoEmreD  Em

There was Clife in this old town
There was Gfighting and loving, winning and losing
DDrinkin' and crusin' down Main Street in my old FoEmrdD  Em  
There ain't Cno going back to the Gway things were beCfore
There ain't Amnothin' main about DMain Street anymoEmreG  C  C  
[Verse 3]
Big EmJohn never came back from GViet Nam, his mama Cdied of a broken heart
EmSuzy's daddy got Gmean when he drank so her Cleavin' was the easy part
Now I Amstill go down there to look around but I don't Emknow what I'm lookin' for
Cause, there ain't Cnothin' main about DMain Street anymoEmreD  Em

There waCs life in this old town
There was Gfighting and loving, winning and losing
