tiny town

i grew up in a tiny town. sidewalks rolled up

when the sun went down

and we played in the streets

'til my mom said come in

in that tiny town. my dad ran a station

by the railroad track. half his life

spent on his back

underneath a car

lord he worked so hard

in that tiny town. they say home is where your heart is

and i guess it's true. and they say you can't go back

but i close my eyes

and i'm drivin through. my mom sold avon

in the neighborhood. i'd wait in the car

hopin she'd done good. so i'd have a dime to spend

on the icecream man

in that tiny town. i got the car

when i was just 15

and 5 dollars bought

a lot of gasoline

to the drive in picture show

where we used to go

in that tiny town. they say home is where your heart is

and i guess it's true. and they say you can't go back

but i close my eyes

and i'm drivin through. now the years

they fly by so fast. so much in life

we lose to the past

but i'm proud to say

that i was raised

in a tiny town. yeah i'm proud to say

that i was raised

in a tiny town.
