This four
lane
road I'm driving on
used to be made of dirt
And right over there where the
Walgreens stands
used to be a church
Well, I was born in this sick town,
raised on sunshine
Did n't take much to
have us a good time
And still get up and go to work
And a catfish was all you could get online
And all the neighbors waved
when you drove by
Even though they lived a mile away
And it's a song for the family
sitting round the table
Full of hymn of amazing grace
And it's a song for the soldier
that just got home
From doing whatever it takes
And the sun still shines
and the wind still blows
The stars and stripes on
the top of that pole
This is for my small town
Even though my small town
ain't that small no more
And there's a bonfire burnin'
in the middle of a field
By the big red barn that my granddad built
But those were much simpler times
And though memories fade,
mine still exist
Like the old oak tree
where I stole my first kiss
Way back on that star -filled summer night
And it's a song for the family
sittin' round the table
A hymn of amazing grace
And it's a song for the soldier
that just got home
From doing whatever it takes
And the sun still shines
and the wind still blows
The stars and stripes on
the top of that pole
This is for my small town
Even though my small town
ain't that small no more
And it was church on Sunday,
work through Friday
Everybody knew everybody
Be fore progress came to town
And now you can't let your
kids out the house
without an iPhone
Back to the future, damn,
where's the time gone?
All we ever really had is now
And it's a song for the family
sitting round the table
A hymn of amazing grace
And it's a song for the soldier
that just got home
From doing whatever it takes
And the sun still shines
and the wind still blows
The stars and stripes on
the top of that pole
This is for my small town, even though
My small town ain't that small no more
You
