lyrics

Strolling down Main Street; ain’t what it used to be
Where’s the barber shop where my daddy used to take me?
Where’s the hardware store? It’s long since closed down
Well, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown

Oh, Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down
Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown

Where is Wagner’s Bakery? Our favorite mom and pop
Well Mr and Mrs Wagner had to close up shop
Their cookies and their pastries were simply the best
But good ole corporate America laid it all to rest

And Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down
Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown

We used to love to stroll, on a warm summer’s night
To the Ice Cream Corner, up the street and on the right
But now the only ice cream is just too far
So pack up the family, and gas up the car

’cuz Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down
Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown

SOLO

We know that this song of ours won’t be heard much around town
‘cuz Walmart won’t sell it, and they shut all the record stores down

Well, Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down
Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown

Where’s the Coffee shop? It’s gone!
Where’s the Butcher shop? It’s gone!
And the newsstand? It’s gone!
And the pizza place? It’s gone!
How ’bout the toy store? It’s gone!
Main Street America… It’s all gone!

Well, Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down
Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown
