I don't read the paper, I don't watch the news
Life's good in this small town, population 62
Our bank ain't been held-up since 1932
Our doors are always unlocked, but not for long I'm tellin' you'Cause I know, time's are gonna change
I know, life will never be the same
I see, please tell me it ain't soThey're all movin' in, surroundin' me
No place left to go
My, oh my, you can kiss your freedom goodbyeUsed to have a small town drugstore
Where old men liked to meet
That store's gone out of business
They're sellin' drugs out in the streetsThe new kids like to spray paint
They've got a lot to say
Sure do have a way with words
Taught me a few today'Cause I know, time's are gonna change
I know, life will never be the same
I see small town folks like me
Are gonna have to changeThe way we do things 'cause eventually
My, oh my, you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Kiss it goodbye, na, na, na, na, babyI know time's are gonna change
I know, life will never be the same
I see, please tell me it ain't soThey're all movin' in, surroundin' me
No place left to go
My, oh myI know, time's are gonna change
I know, life will never be the same
I see small town folks like me
Are gonna have to changeThe way we do things 'cause eventually
My, oh my, you can kiss your freedom goodbye
(Kiss your freedom goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye, oh, go home and kiss
[Incomprehensible]
