My life is like a country road
Forgotten two lane through my soul
The sign ahead says welcome to
My heart population you
Like old service stations and motels
My heart don't take progress well
It's seldom someone passes through
My heart population you
Oh, it's quiet now in this little one love town
Since you've left but you can't be far
And though you're gone surely it can't be for long
'Cause you've still got a place in my heart
From the freeway trucks' and buses' whine
A distant sound of modern times
But moving on ain't what we do
In my heart population you
And though you're gone surely it can't be for long
'Cause you've still got a place in my heart
The one house that was full of love
Is all run down and boarded up
But the signs won't change and here there's two
My heart population you
The other one says come back soon
My heart population you
Forgotten two lane through my soul
The sign ahead says welcome to
My heart population you
Like old service stations and motels
My heart don't take progress well
It's seldom someone passes through
My heart population you
Oh, it's quiet now in this little one love town
Since you've left but you can't be far
And though you're gone surely it can't be for long
'Cause you've still got a place in my heart
From the freeway trucks' and buses' whine
A distant sound of modern times
But moving on ain't what we do
In my heart population you
And though you're gone surely it can't be for long
'Cause you've still got a place in my heart
The one house that was full of love
Is all run down and boarded up
But the signs won't change and here there's two
My heart population you
The other one says come back soon
My heart population you
