Array ( [sid] => 39335 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Goodbye small town [time] => 2004-03-19 14:51:07 [hometext] => my town was so quaint a long time ago [bodytext] => today i went strolling down memory lane
to cookie cut out house's man they look the same
flower beds now in bloom catching walkers eye
that big old tree i remember the day i climbed to high

and there is the alley i took my first smoke
and the pamagranite tree man that was a joke
our little field across the street is now a new garage
wow this town has grown it seems just a mirage

yes i recall that store yoused to be
my uncles very hardware now is lot #3
the old drive inn movie has since been torn down
and a two lane street goes through the center of town

it has no qualities i can recall
like orange groves that grew ten feet tall
hurry hurry is all i now see
im glad i moved out in 1983
