Verse They're building up big houses Back behind the school Where we used to drink our beer on Friday nights And pretend that we were lovers in your car We can't afford to live there So we drive on past their marble and glass Hoping that this blue collar town of ours Won't ever lose its balls I was just a little girl When your hand brushed by my hand And I will be an old woman Happy to have spent my whole life with one man Behind that school we found romance We laid in the dirt and took off our shirts While the lucky ones would fly away On planes to other cities, other towns Now they're building up houses Big enough to lose your love Big enough to never even see One another in the dark I was just a little girl When your hand brushed by my hand And I will be an old woman Happy to have spent my whole life with one man One man, one town is all I need A simple plan to guide me Through the simple life I lead I have seen the ocean and I have seen the sky I do not need a big house or the ability to fly We'll remember the summers The crumbling town streets, running from police And acting like we'd leave this place The minute we ever had the chance I was just a little girl When your hand brushed by my hand And I will be an old woman Happy to have spent my whole life with one man
