I'm A Small Town

Well I've been around

Since before the trains came through.

Well I've seen a lot.

But the first time my heart broke in two

Was when they brought those Johnson brothers back

To their mama with a flag.

Well I'm a small town.

There's hundreds just like me.

Yeah, but I'm the one

Where you happened to be.

When you learned how to ride your first bike up and down my street.

Where you grew up and just couldn't wait to just get out.

I'm a small town.

Where everyone knows everyone.

There ain't no secrets around here.

Son, either you love me

Or you hate me for everything I am.

Either I hold your heart

Or I hold you down.

I'm a small town.

Just a dot there on the map.

If you blink you'll miss me eh, well go ahead and laugh.

But I'm where you kissed your first someone.

I'm where you hit your last homerun.

I'm where you lay your grandpa in the ground.

I'm a small town.

Where everyone knows everyone.

There ain't no secrets around here.

Son, either you love me

Or you hate me for everything I am.

Either I hold your heart

Or I hold you down.

I'm a small town.

You left in a cloud of dust.

Big city bound but I never once gave up.

And when you looked into that newborn angel's eyes and it occurred

There was only once place good enough for her...

Where everyone knows everyone.

There ain't no secrets around here.

Son, either you love me

Or you hate me for everything I am.

Either I hold your heart

Or I hold you down.
