My Small Town

(专辑： Fish Grease - 2016)

This four lane road I'm driving on
Used to be made of dirt
And right over there where the Walgreen's stands
Used to be a church
Well I was born in this hick town
Raised on sunshine
Didn't take much
To have us a good time
Still get up and go to work
And a catfish was all you could get on line
And all the neighbors waved when you drove by
Even though they lived a mile away

And it's a song for the family
Sittin round the table, a hymn of amazing grace
And it's a song for the soldier that just got home
From doing whatever it takes
And the sun still shines
And the wind still blows
The stars and stripes on the top of that pole
This is for my small town, even though
My small town ain't that small no more

And there's a bonfire burning
In the middle of a field
By the big red barn
That my granddad built
But those were much simpler times
And though memories fade
Mine still exist
Like the old oak tree
Where I stole my first kiss
Way back on that star filled summer night

And it's a song for the family
Sittin round the table, a hymn of amazing grace
And it's a song for the soldier that just got home
From doing whatever it takes
And the sun still shines
And the wind still blows
The stars and stripes on the top of that pole
This is for my small town, even though
My small town ain't that small no more

And it was church on Sunday
Work through Friday
Round here everybody knew everybody
Before progress came to town
And now you can't let your kids
Out the house without an iPhone
Back to the future
Damn, where's the time gone
All we ever really had is now

And it's a song for the family
Sittin round the table, a hymn of amazing grace
And it's a song for the soldier that just got home
From doing whatever it takes
And the sun still shines
And the wind still blows
The stars and stripes on the top of that pole
This is for my small town, even though
My small town ain't that small no more
