Lyrics

Little Town

Words and music by Gordon Moir and George Paterson


I was born in a little town, growing up meant shutting down
More important than your pride, was keeping feelings bottled up inside
Aint never gonna tie me down, tie me down
To this little town

All had to do well at school, eat your greens and don?t break no rules
Hey kid why?s your hair so long? If you stand out then you don?t belong
My old man he tried to explain he said,
?Son, it?s a little town? It?s a little town

You get a job and all you see is, you date the girls from the factory
And go to town on a Friday night, and then the bus stop for a fight
They say I can drink more than you , I say ?So??
It?s a little town, It?s a little town

Young city folk they relocate, down by the bridge in the brokers estate
Men catch the trains and commute to the city
Women catch the boredom of trying to look pretty
Thinks, ?is this all there?s left in my life??
Little town, it?s a little town

It?s cool to talk of ecology, ozone layer and lead free
Then they go to the burger hall,
Ones with the clown that are messing it all
Aint never gonna recycle me, in this little town

And when you die, they will bury you
Right beside every one you knew
Gather and say ?well, what a fine man?
When in fact they don?t give a damn
Can?t take this hipocrisy in my life
Little town
Such a little town
It?s a little town
