Little Town

(Dan Orton & Jennifer Schott)



If you blink you might miss it: Population: 803

Five miles long, four miles wide, feels just right to me

Where a handshake still means something

An' the little man still counts

Water tastes like it's supposed to

Yeah, folks 'round here are proud

To be from a little town.



Well, the stars, they just seem brighter

An' the pace is nice an' slow

An' families stay together

God must be smilin' down here on little town.



There's a cardboard lemonade stand at the end of our drive

For fifty cents, they'll fill you up

He's seven an' she's five

An' in the Fall, there's Football Fridays

We pack the kids an' we head out

We climb the stands and pass the band

And join the hometown crowd

An' scream for little town



--- Instrumental ---



Well, the stars, they just seem brighter

An' the pace is nice an' slow

An' families stay together

God must be smilin' down here on little town.

Aren't you glad we settled down here in little town?
