That old Texaco was the only place to go To smoke that smoke when you're seventeen Just some hang around trucks Cranking Mellencamp up Taking us another lap around Main Street There's something different about this place Can't believe how much it's changed I used to love this town I used to run these streets I used to tell myself No way in hell I'd ever leave Thought I'd settle down like my daddy did Build a life, buy some land, raise a couple kids Now I don't give a damn if they burn the whole thing to the ground If you ain't around, I used to love this town Down Maplewood Drive, mail box thirty nine Kept me waiting outside in the summer heat You stepped off them steps, heart beating out my chest Hair blowing in the wind in the summer breeze Drove by just the other day Ain't nowhere I go, I don't see your face I used to love this town I used to run these streets I used to tell myself No way in hell I'd ever leave Thought I'd settle down like my daddy did Build a life, buy some land, raise a couple kids Now I don't give a damn if they burn the whole thing to the ground If you ain't around, I used to love this town I used to love this town County line in the rearview Told me I'd hear from you But you left me here hanging around I used to love this town I used to run these streets I used to tell myself No way in hell I'd ever leave Thought I'd settle down like my daddy did Build a life, buy some land, raise a couple kids Now I don't give a damn if they burn the whole thing to the ground If you ain't around, I used to love this town I used to love this town I used to love this town I used to love this town I used to love this town
