Letter In The Mail - James Taylor[00:00:01]

If I could go down now[00:00:16]

While the whole town is sleeping[00:00:19]

See the sun creeping up on the hill[00:00:23]

I know the river and the railroad[00:00:29]

Would run through the valley still[00:00:33]

I guess it never was much to look at[00:00:44]

Just a one-horse town[00:00:47]

The kind of place young people want to leave today[00:00:51]

Store fronts pretty much boarded up[00:00:58]

Main Street pretty much closed down[00:01:01]

The church bell still rings on Sunday[00:01:12]

Old folks still go[00:01:19]

The young ones listen on the radio[00:01:22]

Saturday night nothing but a stray dog running wild[00:01:26]

Like nobody's child[00:01:32]

And little by little light after light[00:01:40]

That's how it died[00:01:43]

They say you never go home again[00:01:47]

That's no lie[00:01:50]

Its like a letter in the mail[00:01:53]

To a brother in jail[00:01:55]

It's a matter of time[00:01:57]

Until you can do a little bit better time[00:01:59]

It used to be part of the heartland[00:02:06]

Awful proud and strong[00:02:18]

But deep deep down peaceful and serene[00:02:22]

When people used to talk about the country[00:02:29]

That's what they used to mean[00:02:31]

I might go down come the weekend[00:02:43]

Go on my own[00:02:46]

Drop off Annie and the baby[00:02:50]

Maybe drive alone[00:02:53]

Pay my last respects to a time[00:02:56]

That has all but gone[00:03:01]

We said Mama come look at the mountain[00:03:10]

Fire in the sky[00:03:17]

It's lit up like the Fourth of July[00:03:21]

The mill burning down[00:03:24]

The jobs leaving town[00:03:28]

The trains rolling by[00:03:31]

And little by little light after light[00:03:38]

That's how it died[00:03:42]

They say you never go home again[00:03:46]

That's no lie[00:03:48]

It's just a letter in the mail[00:03:52]

To a brother in jail[00:03:54]

It's a matter of time[00:03:55]

Until you can do a little bit better time[00:03:58]
