Lyrics

Small Town

The story around here was nothing but a rumor
?Til the money came rolling in
We got strip bars, new cars, iced cappuccino
And the town?s in a tailspin

There?s a brand new group at the old city council
And they?re making all kinds of plans
Now I sort my trash from 29 acres
Into three little bitty cans

Gotta get out of this small town
Got too big for me
In this small town, gone high society
The way it?s turned around
?Aint what it used to be
In this small town
Got too big for me

They just and tore down the last bait & tackle
Built a bar with an atmosphere
Gotta valet park, gotta dress to code
Seven dollars for an ice cold beer

I?m still in line at Hazels Diner
And it?s looking like another world
?Cuz she sold out to the California Pizza Kitchen
Now she?s a rich girl

Repeat Chorus - Solo

Well, I?m still stuck waiting on the moving truck
And I start to have a little change of heart
What?s a few less ducks and a couple
Starbucks cups decorating my front yard

So I step out back with a hot cup of coffee
Take a long hard look at my land
All I see is the Tomahawk Casino
From the window of my deer stand

Repeat Chorus
