Smalltown Lyrics

Dale Watson - Small Town
I want a small town that's proud to wave the stars and stripes
That believes in mom and dad in prayer and apple pie
Where in the world today an honest man makes an honest wage
Where is a small town like yesterday today
I used to know my neighbors now I don't even know if i have one
Once open fields surrounded me now all I see are fields of stone
There were trees on every corner now convience stores and stripmalls take their place
Where is a small town like yesterday today
We're living in the age of me where people venture out to meet more people
To talk about me
We question everything in sight have we forgot whats wrong and right
But it's right there in black and white in the bible
And the bible's still around in a small town
City limit signs they slowly pass me by
In the name of progress did we somehow let it die
I want a small town that's proud to wave the stars and stripes
That believes in mom and dad in prayer and apple pie
Where in the world today an honest man can make an honest wage
Where is a small town like yesterday today
I want a small town like yesterday today
