Main Street just don't look the same as it did back in '88
To see this place from outer space on the Fourth Of July
Boom town came and the oil went, and I couldn't leave like some folks did
Buried my heart in the red dirt, where I stand is where I'll die
Sarah pours the coffee black and I stop by to make her laugh
'Til that cafe closed at 2 and I asked if she needs a ride
She lets me take the long way home and most folks, they don't even know
An empty field and the way it feels to have no end in sight
With a little help from moonlight I'd asked Sarah if she'd be mine

And now I'm holdin' on
After everyone else is movin' on
I've never felt the need to go seek higher ground
As long as I've got you, I'll stick around
This little town

Travelers they come passin' through, don't view this place like me and you
They can't look past the bullet holes they see in every stop sign
And there may be some broke down cars sitting in my neighbor's yard
That don't make no difference when the sunset paints the sky
At night there's no city lights, just stars in my lover's eyes

Now I'm holdin' on
After everyone else is movin' on
I've never felt the need to go seek higher ground
As long as I've got you, I'll stick around
This little town

This little town
Oh yeah
A-this little town
Let's get it there
A-this little town

I'm still holdin' on
After everyone else is movin' on
I never felt the need to go seek higher ground
As long as I've got you, I'll still be holdin' on
After everyone else is movin' on
I've never felt the need to go seek higher ground
As long as I've got you, I'll stick around
Our little town
