Population 81 Lyrics - Singles - Trent Willmon

There used to be a sign 

Saying, "Welcome to Population 82" 

Just a little town with no line streets 

Where I loved you and you loved me 

But there ain't been a day of sun 

Since this town has become Population 81 

We used to lay beside the lake 

Talk about the plans we'd make 

We'd build a house by that old oak tree 

Make it Population 83 

Now those dreams have turned to dust 

Since this town has become Population 81 

I threw a penny in the wishing well 

And I made a wish that wished you well 

And I watched it sink away from me, away from me 

Now when I go down to the corner store 

Where the old men sit out on the porch 

I hear what they don't say to me 

But they'll talk about it when I leave 

'Cause they know what's done is done 

And that this town has become Population 81 

I took a walk out on the bridge 

And I dropped that diamond off the edge 

And I watched it sink away from me 

Away from me, away from me 

There used to be a sign 

Saying, "Welcome to Population 82" 

Just a little town with no line streets 

Where I loved you and you loved me 

Oh, you loved me 

You loved me 

Oh, I watched you slip away from me
