Small rural towns all over the country are disappearing and every person who leaves has a story to tell.
Lyrics
Wherever You Are © 1999 David Coller (ASCAP)
Darkness is falling
On this little town
Main Street has started
On its last go-round
So you pack a suitcase
I’ll gas up the car
You know that my home is
Wherever you are
So lock up the back door
And turn out the light
Whisper one last prayer
Say one last “good night”
Leave the key in the mailbox
And latch up the gate
Our future is waiting
So let’s not be late
Drive out past the graveyard
On the outskirts of town
Where all of my people
Sleep underground
Then on past those old farms
Through the fields of dry corn
And I bet we make Cleveland
By the first light of dawn
Oh darkness has fallen
On this town they say
But the stars are all shining
In that big Milky Way
So you pack a suitcase
I’ll gas up the car
You know that my home is
Wherever you are
You know that my home is
Wherever you are
