Still a Small Town

It’s still a small town to me 

Still a small town to me 

You can pack in your malls, put up your walls
But it’s still a small town to me

I was having doubts about the place where I live

I felt like the city was closing me in 

Too tired to move away and start over again
I saw a lot of reasons to leave
Our quaint little main street is eight lanes wide 
Condos and town homes are still on the rise
People pining for the days gone by
But it’s still a small town to me


It’s still a small town to me 

Still a small town to me

You can pack in your malls, put up your walls
But it’s still a small town to me

There’s a few less fields and a few more homes
We’re trucking in produce from Mexico
What they spray on that stuff, man I don’t wanna know
But a kid’s gotta eat 


It’s still a small town to me 

Still a small town to me 

You can pack in your malls, put up your walls
But it’s still a small town to me

But there’s a flea market now every Sunday ‘til 3:00
The Fox reopened on lower Main Street
Taylor’s Chili Dog stand went back to their old recipe
That’s the kind of progress we need

It’s too easy to sit and complain 

You drag in 20 more Starbucks one thing’ll never change
This is Steinbeck country it gets in your veins
You can’t kill it with concrete and paint

It’s the place where I met the girl of my dreams 
Been married for years – we just hit seventeen
Honestly friends, what more do you need?
There’s no place I’d rather be

It’s still a small town to me 

Still a small town to me
You can pack in your malls, put up your walls
Take a look down underneath it all
In south county we’re having a ball 

But it’s still a small town to me
Yeah it’s still a small town to me

“Si, es un pequeño pueblo a mí” 

It’s still a small town to me
