I'm A Small Town

Well I've been around,
Since before the trains came through.
I've seen a lot
the first time my heart broke in two
Is when they brought those Johnson brothers back
To their mamma, with a flag,
I'm a small town.
There's hundreds just like me,
yeah but i'm the one where you happen to be.
You learned how to ride your first bike
up and down my street.
Where you grew up and couldn't wait to just get out
I'm a small town.
Where everyone knows everyone
there ain't no secrets around here
son either you love me, or you hate me
For everything i am
Either i hold your heart, or i hold you down
I'm a small town.
Just a dot there on the map,
If you blink you'll miss me
yeah go ahead and laugh
But i'm where you kissed your first someone,
I'm where you hit your last home run
I'm where you laid, your grandpa in the ground.
I'm a small town.
Where everyone knows everyone
there ain't no secrets around here
son either you love me, or you hate me
For everything i am
Either i hold your heart, or i hold you down
I'm a small town.
You left in a cloud of dust.
big city bound, but i never once gave up
when you looked into that new born's eyes and it occurred
there was only one place good enough for her.
Where everyone knows everyone
there ain't no secrets around here
son either you love me, or you hate me
For everything i am
Either i hold your heart, or i hold you down
I'm a small town.
I'm a small town.
