LITTLE DOWNTOWN (c) 2017

V1

I LIVE IN  A SMALL TOWN
THAT HAS ONE TRAFFIC LIGHT
EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYBODY
AND WE THINK THAT'S ALL RIGHT

WE LIVE EACH DAY OFF THE LAND.
WE MAKE IT THROUGH EACH NIGHT
DOWN AT THE HONKY TONK
LISTENING TO COUNTRY BANDS.

SOME PEOPLE THINK THERE'S MORE TO LIFE
BUT I THINK THEY'VE GOT THEIR HEAD
STUCK IN THE SAND.
OUT HERE IN THE CORNFIELDS YOU FEEL SO FREE
THE COUNTRY LIFE IS THE ONLY WAY THAT LIFE
SHOULD TRULY BE.
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
I'LL ALWAYS BE PROUD
THAT I GREW UP IN THIS
LITTLE
DOWNTOWN

CHORUS:

I LIVE IN A LITTLE DOWNTOWN
WITH BIG AL'S GENERAL STORE
THERE'S MOODY'S ANTIQUES
AND UNCLE JOE'S BAR.
AND YOU'LL SOMETIMES SEE AN OLD
67 CHEVY SPORTS CAR.

YES WHEN THEY ASK ME WHERE I'M FROM
SOME PEOPLE LAUGH OUT LOUD
BUT I HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH AND TELL
THEM
THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE PROUD
THAT I COME FROM A
LITTLE
A LITTLE
A LITTLE
A LITTLE
DOWNTOWN


V2

THERE'S ROSIE'S DINER
AND THERE'S MARY'S BOUTIQUE DOWN BUY THE
LAKE.
THERE'S ICE CREAM AT THE TASTEE FREEZE
THE NEWSPAPER'S NEVER LATE.
THE POSTMAN KNOWS EVERYONE'S FIRST NAME.
THE DRIVERS NEVER GET IRATE.
THERE'S THE CHURCH ON THE CORNER
OF FIRST AND MAIN.
STANDING TALL AND PROUD
ACROSS FROM THE GAZEBO AND THE
OLD OLD CIVIL WAR BURIAL GROUNDS>

CHORUS:

YES-

I LIVE IN A LITTLE DOWNTOWN
WITH BIG AL'S GENERAL STORE
THERE'S MOODY'S ANTIQUES
AND UNCLE JOE'S BAR.
AND YOU'LL SOMETIMES SEE AN OLD
67 CHEVY SPORTS CAR.

YES WHEN THEY ASK ME WHERE I'M FROM
SOME PEOPLE LAUGH OUT LOUD
BUT I HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH AND TELL
THEM
THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE PROUD
THAT I COME FROM A
LITTLE
A LITTLE
A LITTLE
A LITTLE
DOWNTOWN

V3


NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN OVER THIRTY YEARS.
THE MILK IS STILL DELIVERED BY TRUCK
THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE I WENT TO IS STILL HERE.
PEOPLE STILL WORK TEN HOURS JUST TO MAKE A FEW BUCKS

THE ONLY THING THAT'S DIFFERENT IS THAT
EVERYONE HAS MOVED OR PASSED AWAY.
THERE'S A NEW GENERATION OF FARMERS IN TOWN
AND TO ME THAT'S STILL OK.

WE ALL LOVE THE COUNTRY LIFE AND THIS MUCH I'VE GOT TO SAY
YOU CITY BOYS CAN LAUGH ALL YOU WANT
BUT I'LL ALWAYS BE PROUD
THAT I CAN SAY I COME FROM
A LITTLE DOWNTOWN

THAT I CAN SAY I COME FROM
A LITTLE DOWNTOWN

BRIDGE

YES WHEN THEY ASK ME WHERE I'M  FROM
SOME CITY FOLKS JUST LAUGH OUT LOUD
BUT I HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH AND TELL
THEM THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD
THAT I CAN SAY I COME FROM
THAT I CAN SAY I COME FROM
THAT I CAN SAY I COME FROM
A LITTLE
DOWNTOWN

THAT IC AN SAY I COME FROM
THAT I CAN SAY I COME FROM
THAT I CAN SAY I GREW UP IN
A LITTLE DOWNTOWN
