Lyrics She Once Lived Here - Gram Parsons

The mayor gave me the keys to the city
The welcome wagons already appearred
Oh, but again I'll be packing and leaving
For it's plain now that she once lived here

I'll never know what could make me forget her
'Cause she was love and love lives everywhere
Could it be that I'll never stop saying
"I've got to go, for she once lived here"

I'd see her face in the cool of the evening
I hear her voice in each breeze loud and clear
Oh, there must be a town without memories
But not this one, for she once lived here

I'll sneak in

I'd see her face in the cool of the evening
I hear her voice in each breeze loud and clear
Oh, there must be a town without memories
But not this one, for she once lived here, oh
I've gotta go now for she once lived here
