My life is like a country road forgotten two lane through my soul The sign ahead says welcome to my heart population you Like old service stations and motels my heart don't take progress well It's seldom someone passes through my heart population you Oh it's quiet now in this little one love town Since you left but you can't be far And though you're gone surely it can't be for long Cause you've still got a place in my heart From the freeway trucks and busses whine a distant sound of modern times But moving on ain't what we do in my heart population you [ guitar ] And though you're gone surely it can't be for long Cause you've still got a place in my heart The one house that was full of love is all run down and boarded up But the signs won't change and here there's two my heart population you The other one says come back soon my heart population you
