This is why everyone should take a drive across the USA, from one coast to the other, without using the Interstate. I've done it a few times.... wonderful way to see the country.

This song will always be sad because time will never go back and we all miss the days from our childhood. This song also brings back so many memories

Time may never rewind, but those days can come back if you try in a different way.

It’s bittersweet. Because I 100% agree with what you said, but also it can bring a sense of peace because you appreciate those days a lot more. We might be sad that it’s over, but we can definitely be glad that it happened.

I rode my motorcycle on Route 66 from Ok. City to the Pier (End of the Trail) in Santa Monica. This song is a living tribute to a way of life lost forever. A true sadness. DD

I've driven across the USA several times without using the Interstate. The two lane highways are indeed the best way to travel this country.

This song needs to be played in city/town

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot , captured within the sadness of distant broken dreams is a song so tender as the voice that screams , why why why .

This song isn't old but it is nostalgic.

What a gorgeous song. Some sad observations of the way the world changes……

Its a story of a time that went by and is now forgotten. Main Street America. Life was a much simpler time and people honestly worked for what they had.

This is my favorite song of all time

I find it impossible to not like this song.

Gone forever, My town Myrtle Beach, SC. Empty lots where something wonderful was. The past erased except in our minds. Darkness where their was light. Goodbye Pavilion good heritage. My town, our town gone forever!

As i'm listening to this. This also is reminding me of sears kmart toys r us and circuit city that closed for ever.

I first heard this song when the movie cars was first out theatres. I was 5. Now I will be 20 next month. When I hear this I remember going camping in the woods of southern Indiana with the cub scouts, roaming the woods in the backyard, shooting guns, and other stuff like that. Back then there used to be a ton of fireflies as well, last I was there was about 2 years ago and there was basically none. Nowhere. And the county as a whole a whole is a hick redneck white trailer trash small community. The last time I checked how big and populated it was, was about 4 months ago or so and the county was 378 square miles with a little more than 27,000 people

The fact of everyone. Amazing true lyrics which take back each an everyone to their memory lanes of their first love, the Town where they grew, played n fought with friends, had a first crush. NOSTALGIA at its best.... :-*

I totally agree I'm here in Royal Oak been taking long walks around by my neighborhood and I don't recognize the thing I mean even billing the lawn Care Service Company not only moved but now that lot is becoming a apartment complex and then they're trying to put the police station right next to the farmer's market and put a parking garage behind it that's going to be too much space there used to be a parking lot behind a restaurant called Leo's Coney Island now there's an office building behind is a very narrow street that the garbage trucks have a hard time getting through and then they're building a parking garage behind the library where the parking lot used to be I'm not used to surprises like this I nearly fell over in Surprise and I cursed in front of the homeless guy and immediately apologized I don't usually a curse or swear but when I see something that throws me off it's got to be for a reason even the fish market across from the farmers market is gone at least Jim's Frostie treats is still there they are celebrating 50 years I might be getting a job there please pray no setbacks come my way

The world was different oh yes it was

Amazing and beautiful song ever

5 year old me: doesn't mind the song 22 year old me: song hits like a ton of bricks.

tetap menjadi lagu terfavorit 😭😭😍😍

Lyrics: Long ago, but not so very long ago The world was different, oh yes it was You settled down and you built a town and made it live And you watched it grow, it was your town Time goes by, time brings changes, you change too Nothing comes that you can’t handle, so on you go You never see it coming when the world caves in on you On your town, there’s nothing you can do Main street isn’t main street anymore Lights don’t shine as brightly as they shone before Tell the truth, lights don’t shine at all In our town Sun comes up each morning, just like it’s always done Get up, go to work, start the day You open up for business that’s never gonna come As the world rolls by a million miles away Main street isn’t main street anymore No one seems to need us like they did before It’s hard to find a reason left to stay But it’s our town, love it anyway Come what may, it’s our town

It might be Our Town but it's Her Town Too. Hehe

This is a very good song of a funeral

The Best song ever If you are driving all the way to California

Sweet and sad.

Then hard time cames in.The city has been closed. Every town had close down.

We know. Song every day and night live city. This would change are this would be great day for. Our city

Me When I Don’t Have Friends At School And I’m Lonely

I feel so ashamed to be born in 1998. I wish I was born in 68.

This kind of thing happened in Royal Oak, Michigan. It was once a charming little town, but now it's just a generic suburb

Lagu yang menyentuh hati

A young grow to old, A kid to be adult and old too. 😯😯😯😯😯😢😢😢😢 this is sad song guys

Lagu ini mengingatkanku pada kota kelahiranku dan juga kota dimana aku dibesarkan

At 0:57 to 1:14,That is Old year 1950 in america then and now 2021,Woow! time change

Makes me think of all those towns that were sold of when coal mines were closed or when large companies bought swaths of land for whatever they wanted to build. Quite sad

Live👍

Esta canción sería perfecto para un homenaje a Chespirito gracias por siempre 😭😭😭💖💖😭😭
