lyrics

Historic, old farmhouses crumblin’ to the ground
Once wide open spaces, now there’s little to be found
Service centres and convenience stores replacin’ old traditions
Swimmin’ holes been ruined too through land acquisitions

The old town I remember ain’t the same no more
Things I did way back then are gone forever more, gone forever more

Two cent pop bottles we found at the side of the road
Cash ‘em in at the General Store, pockets lined with gold
Ditches now filled with plastic, no incentive to turn ‘em in
Litterin’ all the highways, where do we begin

The old town I remember ain’t the same no more
Things I did way back then are gone forever more, gone forever more

The natural spring water source ain’t natural any more
Shut down by the Ministry, get it from the water store
Sign says “Under Quarantine, full of E-coli
You can’t drink the water or you’re gonna die!”

The old town I remember ain’t the same no more
Things I did way back then are gone forever more, gone forever more

Peaceful lakes and rivers once teemin’ with wild life
Listen to the call of the loon, echoin’ his strife

They come on personal watercraft makin’ lots of noise
Upsettin’ all the local folk with their spoiled rotten toys

The old town I remember ain’t the same no more
Things I did way back then are gone forever more, gone forever more

Graveyards show the pioneers who settled on this land
Little did they know back then, the wrongs of modern man

Old back roads that bear their names, creeks and waterfalls
Blasted away with dynamite, now lead to shopping malls

The old town I remember ain’t the same no more
Things I did way back then are gone forever more, gone forever more
gone for-ever more, gone forever more
