Lyrics
Every little town, has its own water tower,
Spray-painted on the side,
Matt plus Mary Anne, Lisa loves Howard,
Every little town has a story or five
thousand behind closet doors,
And in plain view a few settled scores.
Every little town, has its rumors and ghosts,
If you stick around, you’ll become one or both,
Every little town has it’s own history,
but it’s guaranteed the same all around,
I find a piece of me, in every little town.
Every little town has a hardware on some corner,
About to be undone by the highway superstore,
Every little town has a last hanger on-er,
Main street on the square someone’s holding out for more,
than daddy ever thought he’d get,
but nobody’s shakin’ hands yet.
when life gets too hectic
I hit the 2 lane roads.
I ask some small-town diner to feed my soul.
Every little town, has its rumors and ghosts,
If you stick around, you’ll become one or both,
Every little town has it’s own history,
but it’s guaranteed the same all around,
I find a piece of me, in every little town,
Every little town.
