Nanci Griffith - Our Very Own Lyrics

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

And down this road we've grown

And it's our very own

This is not a one-horse town

And we're not alone

It's somewhere off the beaten path

And 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

It's 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 that square

And it's our very own

We don't live on easy street

But it's home

Looking out on that 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

And it's our very own

Down this road we've grown

And 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
