This old town seen better days
I see boards like band-aids on window panes
Stores on Main Street look betrayed
And the for sale signs have all begun to fade
Folks out here live on faith
You can almost see it flow like water
Keepin dreams alive day after day
Here in Hopeville
There's no talk of givin up
Here in Hopeville
No one here sings leavin songs
They don't wanna dwell on the things gone wrong
They'll shake your hand and leave no doubt
If you choose to stay they'll always help you out
Folks out here live on faith
You can almost see it flow like water
Keepin dreams alive day after day
Here in Hopeville
There's no talk of givin up
Here in Hopeville
Just no talk of giving up
Here in Hopeville
BRIDGE:
When the sun went down tonight,
I knew somehow it would be alright
I called to say I’m comin home to stay
Folks out here live on faith
You can almost see it flow like water
Keepin dreams alive day after day
Yeah Yeah... yeah
Folks out here live on faith
You can almost see it flow like water
Keepin dreams alive day after day
Here in Hopeville
