This used to be my town   Now I feel I’m losing ground   They used to know my name   At least I had a taste of local fame      Hey, don’t forget me   Please don’t forget me when I’m gone      Now the crowds are growing thin   Man, you should have seen them way back when   Now I’m just another guy   They used to whisper when I walked by      Hey, don’t forget me   Please don’t forget me when I’m gone      I guess I knew it would end   That don’t make it any easier      Now the crowds are growing thin   Man, you should have seen them way back when      Hey, don’t forget me   Please don’t forget me when I’m gone      ‘Cause on certain nights when the crowd’s just right   The magic can return   I took so much for granted then, I took so much for granted   I wish that I could take back all these years      Hey, don’t forget me   Please, don’t forget me when I’m gone
