Tiny Town

Those dirt roads are gravel now

That old storefront is falling down

Same ole population sign

Still nine hundred thirty nine

They’ve come and gone

We’d fry fish out at grandma’s house

Man I sure wish she was with us now

We learned to live

We laughed a lot

Had less time than we had thought

It’s come and gone

Moving forward looking back

I can’t get more than what I had

All these memories like roots in the ground

I may be gone but I never left

Still the kid on that porch step

Of the only home that I have ever found

With big dreams, a big mouth

And a big heart

For that tiny town

No city lights but we had the stars

This whole town was my backyard

Johnny Reb Talkin’ tough

I’d find out where trouble was

Just because

I’d rope swing in that river bend

Where I got baptized and born again

Finding fields

and slingin’ mud

Crazy kids and summer love

Where I come from

Moving forward looking back

I can’t get more than what I had

All these memories like roots in the ground

I may be gone but I never left

Still the kid on that porch step

Of the only home that I have ever found

With big dreams,a big mouth

And a big heart

For that tiny town

I know that you can’t see it on a map

But it’s everything that made me who I am

Moving forward looking back

I can’t get more than what I had

All these memories like roots in the ground

I may be gone but I never left

Still the kid on that porch step

Of the only home that I have ever found

With big dreams, a big mouth

And a big heart

For that tiny town
