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
