When you come back home boy
You're gonna be so surprised
This little town that you came from
Has just left us behind
Well they knocked down all the places
You and me would hang around
It's just bricks and stone skin and bone
But what about the soul of this town
Did you see that big ol' high-rise
Where Sonny's used to be
Well he fought till it was high time
Now he's in Sault Sainte Marie
Millie's tryin to keep the diner
Tryin hard not to drown
Its just bricks and stone, skin and bone
But what about the soul of this town
What about the soul of this town
They say they cleaned up all the projects
Welcomed everyone to stay
But the rent keeps on rising
And pushing everybody away
How can it be with all that money
There's not enough to go around
It's just bricks and stone, skin and bone
But what about the soul of this town
What about the soul of this town
What about the soul of this town
