Livin' In a Small Town
Livin’ In a Small Town
Ring, ring goes the telephone
Mama answers to the neighbor saying
Do you know what your daughter is doing?
That is life
Livin’ In a Small Town
So full of mischief
So full of life
Neighbors are neighbors
Not just the stranger next door
That is life
Livin’ In a Small Town
Riding horses through town
Or bikes around the block
People waving and calling out
“Hey how are you?”
That is life
Livin’ In a Small Town
A smile from everyone
Town barbeques in the park
Town meetings
Friendly people
That is life
Livin’ In a Small Town
Go to church and you see most everyone
Like a big family
Watching each other’s backs
Always there to lend a hand
Neighbors helping neighbors
That is life
Livin’ In a Small Town
Visiting with the old timers
From when the town was built
Hearing the stories
Passed down
Through the generations
Funny ones, sad ones
Stories of hard times
All a part of the history
All part of
Life
Livin’ In a Small Town
Sometimes I got frustrated
Especially when Mom knew things
Before I could tell her
Being in trouble
Before I even made it home
However looking back, I would not trade a thing
As I always have loved
Life
Livin’ In a Small Town
