So many lanes to walk down, so
few steps left to take.
Far too many land mines down there so turn around
lest your frame should break.
On the left hand side, you have the old jungle gym
On the right, the dilapidated alma mater.
So many indelible memories run through the heart of this town
Like a river full of water .
From the carnival rides
to the runs through to the woods
from the epic water slides
to uncovering all the goods.
We never knew just how good we had it
until it all came crashing down.
But looking back on it all,
we owned that town.
What the future holds
is anyone’s guess
But we sure are looking forward to
that big beautiful mess.
Hopeful the future big beautiful mess is really beautiful and an even more depressing moment for the town. So sad to see a hometown fade.
