Take a walk down main streetHave a look aroundNow look in all the windowsThe empty buildings in this townImagine all the peopleWho came and had to goLook for something betterIn the dream on down the road ChorusYou cant spend a dime in leland iowa cause every store in towns run out of luckBut you can spend a lot of time in leland iowaLiving on a farm working on your pickup truck There used to be a dinerWhere everyone would goAnd that building on the corner Used to be a picture showYou shouldve seen it in the summerAround the 4th of julyWhen fireworks and carnivalsWere lightin up the sky I know people who have lived hereThrough a couple world warsAnd their fathers like their fathersWere raising kids and growing cornAnd like their friends around themIts the only life they knowThrough the good times and the bad timesThey will stay here even though
