Downtown Owen Temple D G Downtown??s all closed down A They??ve boarded up the windows G D Just like an old ghost town D The storefronts are empty G There??s noone around A D Downtown??s all closed down A G D A small town in Texas by the courthouse in the square A G D The middle of the afternoon and there??s nobody there G Well I shook my head and wondered D Where all the businesses had gone A There used to be everything that you??d ever need now G Just the bank??s still D Holdin?? on Chorus The old drugstore is vacant And the café??s locked it doors The movie marquis is falling down There??s no more hardware stores So I sat down on a bench I watched a car go driving by I wondered what had killed downtown And how the people could let it die Chorus The railroad brought the people here Now the interstate draws them away It moved the steady business east And left these old buildings behind to stay But some folks in town remember A time not too long ago When a film called Casablanca played At the town square picture show Chorus
