One Man Lyrics - Lori Mckenna

They're building up big houses 

Back behind the school 

Where we used to drink 

Our beer on Friday nights 

And pretend that 

We were lovers in your car 

We can't afford to live there 

So we drive on past their marble and glass 

Hoping that this blue collar town of ours 

Won't ever lose its balls 

I was just a little girl 

When your hand brushed by my hand 

And I will be an old woman 

Happy to have spent 

My whole life with one man

Behind that school we found romance 

We laid in the dirt and took off our shirts 

While the lucky ones would fly away 

On planes to other cities, other towns 

Now they're building up houses 

Big enough to lose your love 

Big enough to never even see 

One another in the dark 

One man, one town is all I need 

A simple plan to guide me 

Through the simple life I lead 

I have seen the ocean 

And I have seen the sky 

I do not need a big house 

Or the ability to fly 

Photos 

We'll remember the summers 

The crumbling town streets 

Running from police 

And acting like we'd leave this place 

The minute we ever had the chance
