TAKE A WALK DOWN MAIN STREET   HAVE A LOOK AROUND   NOW LOOK IN ALL THE WINDOWS   THE EMPTY BUILDINGS IN THIS TOWN   IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE   WHO CAME AND HAD TO GO   LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER   IN THE DREAM ON DOWN THE ROAD   YOU CAN’T SPEND A DIME IN LELAND IOWA   ‘CAUSE EVERY STORE IN TOWN’S RUN OUT OF LUCK   BUT YOU CAN SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN LELAND IOWA   LIVING ON A FARM WORKING ON YOUR PICKUP TRUCK   THERE USED TO BE A DINER   WHERE EVERYONE WOULD GO   AND THAT BUILDING ON THE CORNER   USED TO BE A PICTURE SHOW   YOU SHOULD’VE SEEN IT IN THE SUMMER   AROUND THE 4TH OF JULY   WHEN FIREWORKS AND CARNIVALS   WERE LIGHTIN’ UP THE SKY   I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED HERE   THROUGH A COUPLE OF WORLD WARS   AND THEIR FATHERS LIKE THEIR FATHERS   WERE RAISING KIDS AND GROWING CORN   AND LIKE THEIR FRIENDS AROUND THEM   IT’S THE ONLY LIFE THEY KNOW   THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD TIMES   THEY WILL STAY HERE EVEN THOUGH
