Nanci Griffith - Our Very Own lyrics

(Nanci Griffith - Keith Carradine)

We don't live on easy street, but it's home

Looking out on the open road, where you'll go it alone

To the last of our simple days, we'll wave good-bye

Down this road we're grown

It's Our Very Own

This is not a one-horse town, we're not alone

It's somewhere off the beaten track, we're loyal to the bone

Everybody's got their place, and got their role to play

We should never change our rules

'Cause it's our very own

Youth is but a breath in time

A cruise around the square

You swore you'd never be your folks

And suddenly you're there

You think you'll choose a different road

Than the one that you've been shown

But in the end we're in the square

And it's our very own

We don't live on easy street, but it's home

Looking out on the open road, where you'll go it alone

To the last of our simple days, we'll wave goodbye

Down this road we've grown

It's Our Very Own

Come December

Come what may

We'll recall our simple days

And we'll always know

They were our very own
