Lyrics

THIS LITTLE TOWN,
WHERE SOME STAY AND SOME GET OUT
WHERE THEY'LL GIVE YOU A HAND
BUT WON'T TAKE A HANDOUT
THIS LITTLE TOWN, STREET NUMBERS UNLISTED
IF YOU BLINK THEN YOU MISSED IT
THIS LITTLE TOWN

THERE'S A HILL WHERE THE SUN SLEEPS
JUST WEST OF TOWN
THERE'S A STORE ON THE MAIN STREET
HALF WAY DOWN
A RUST BUCKET PACKARD AT THE CORNER GARAGE
AND POST OFFICE PICTURES OF THE STILL-AT-LARGE

THERE'S A HIGH NOON MAIN STREET
BUT NO GUN SLINGERS
RADIO'S GOT RELIGION AND
OLD TIME COUNTRY SINGERS
THERE'S HAY FOR THE HORSES, BUT NOT MANY TO RIDE 'EM
AND THERE'S OLD MEN DYING WITH THEIR SONG STILL INSIDE
'EM

THIS LITTLE TOWN,
WHERE SOME STAY AND SOME GET OUT
THEY'LL GIVE YOU A HAND,
BUT THEY WON'T TAKE A HANDOUT
THIS LITTLE TOWN, STREET NUMBERS UNLISTED
IF YOU BLINK THEN YOU MISSED IT
THIS LITTLE TOWN

BRIDGE:
FAR FROM EVERY PLACE YOU KNOW OF
FOLKS AROUND ARE NOT QUITE SURE OF-
-HOW PROGRESS JUST PASSED UP THIS
PIECE OF GROUND

(LEAD)

THERE'S A HILL WHERE THE SUN SHOWS UP AT DAWN
TO A TRACTOR ENGINE AND A ROOSTER CROWIN'
A MAN DRINKS DOWN HIS COFFEE AND KISSES THE MISSUS
'CUZ THAT'S THE KIND OF TOWN THAT THIS IS

THIS LITTLE TOWN
ON BAR AND ONE STEEPLE
A HANDFULL OF JOBS AND A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE
THIS LITTLE TOWN
THE KIND THAT'S WORTH SAVIN'
WITH HER FLAG PROUDLY WAVIN'
THIS LITTLE TOWN...
