Description
Growing up in a small town, moving away, and coming back to see you much it's changed and grown, but still see it as the same small town you grew up in.
Lyrics
This used to be a stop sign town Look at the all traffic lights now It’s grown by leaps and bounds, the years I've been away The cross stands high at the Church of Christ Now it’s lit by the bingo sign The winners on Friday night are the sinners on Sunday (Chorus) You can tear it down build it back up Run out the farmers and the pick-up trucks Black top every winding country road Turn the five-and-dime into a high-rise On a main street I barely recognize But in my eyes it’s always gonna be A small town to me We used to swim in Decker’s pond Land changed hands with the old man gone He taught me how to fish along the banks of that north shore I know he’d roll over in his grave If he knew that his field’s been paved Just so city folks can save at one more big box store (Chorus) This used to be a stop sign town (Chorus) Yeah, in my eyes it’s always gonna be A small town to me A small town to me
