GREENVILLE
REMEMBERED
The Fountain
Terrace is no more
The Smart
Shop-s gone - has closed its
doors.
Lowry's is now
the Executive Inn
Barq's Beverage
won't be seen again.
The Paramount
and Lake Theaters are things of the
past.
Like the Joy
Drive-in, they did not
last.
Johnnie's Log
Cabin - it became a
dive.
Our Hamburger
place just didn't
survive.
The HUT in
Strange Park is now a dangerous
place
No
longer a meeting spot to show your
face.
The Greenville
Hotel is now a high
rise
For old, old
women and elderly
guy's.
The Haunted
House fell into total
disrepair
Nothing left of
what once was there.
At 5:00 the
cemetery is locked up
tight
No more roaming
out there at night.
Old Greenville
High School is sealed and
boarded
It's only a
shell of memories
hoarded.
The
auditorium has been renovated and
renamed
and if
you go in there, it still lookes the
same.
The Levee is no
longer a safe place to
park
Lights from the
Casinos no longer leaves it
dark.
Doe's is still
on Nelson Street and hasn't changed a
bit
If you
can afford it, a steak you might
split.
Brown's Delish
Shoppe, well it burned slap
down
An empty lot is
all that can be
found.
Broadway has
extended - it's now a four-lane
drive
You can zip
around Greenville - the speed is
45!
As I look
around me, there's one thing I can
tell
Just like a
bottle of vintage wine, we all have
aged real
well.
One thing for
sure, we'll not grow old, and just
like Peter
Pan
Every one of us
will always live in Never-Never
land.
