This Little Town

This little town, that I grew up in
That little white house, when I was a kid
Across from the graveyard my grandparents lay
By the fact'ry my grandpa, he worked everyday
And down on the corner the old bank was robbed
My mom was inside when they did the job
She snuck out the back door and wasn't gunned down
I think God might be watching over this little town

This little town means so much to me
Can't think of another place I'd want to be
To those who leave, guess I'll see you around
'Cause you know I'll be sticking 'round this little town

Beneath that old dam, I used to fish
With my dad and my brother on days just like this
Perfect sunshine, not a cloud in the sky
But they tore that old dam down the year my grandpa died
A few things have changed over the years
The old tavern's still there, so let's grab a beer
We can sit at the bar, 'til they shut 'er down
And I'll tell you more stories 'bout this little town

This little town means so much to me
Can't think of another place I'd want to be
To those who leave, guess I'll see you around
'Cause you know I'll be sticking 'round this little town
Hell why would you leave, woah, this little town
