Lyrics

I recall that old street lined with trees
Ruby red begonias on the breeze
The sound of upturned voices, broken glass
Heavy calloused hands bound to whip my ass
And Daddy, with his head held down in shame
Walking south on Main

I was a soldier, standing in that line
Triple X, the flashing neon sign
Out on that street she reached to take my hand
Every hazy moment made the man
Searching for that one true love, I came
Walking south on Main

It's something like a lost and found
Walking through the old hometown down here
The fear and wonder is up and gone
Nothing ever seems to last too long round here
'Round here
'Round here

Time has come and passed us all around
Every haunted house has crumbled down
Shiny new ones reach to touch the sky
They can't replace the tear in every eye
In certain light, it all still looks the same
Looking back in time with deadly aim
Walking south on Main
South on Main
