Little Town

Main Street just don't look the same as it did back in '88

Could see this place from outer space on the Fourth of July

Boom town came and the oil went, and I couldn't leave like some folks did

Buried my heart in the red dirt, where I stand is where I'll die

Sarah pours the coffee black and I stop by to make her laugh

Until that cafe closed at 2 and I asked if she needs a ride

She lets me take the long way home, and most folks, they don't even know

An empty field and the way it feels to have no end in sight

With a little help from moonlight, I'd asked Sarah if she'd be mine

And now I'm holdin' on

After everyone else is movin' on

I've never felt the need to go seek higher ground

As long as I've got you, I'll stick around

This little town

Travelers, they come passin' through, don't view this place like me and you

They can't look past the bullet holes they see in every stop sign

And there may be some broke down cars sitting in my neighbor's yard

That don't make no difference when the sunset paints the sky

At night there's no city lights, just stars in my lover's eyes

Now I'm holdin' on

After everyone else is movin' on

I've never felt the need to go seek higher ground

As long as I've got you, I'll stick around

This little town

This little town

Oh, yeah

This little town

Let's get it there

A-this little town

But I'm still holdin' on

After everyone else is movin' on

I never felt the need to go seek higher ground

As long as I've got you, I'll still be holdin' on

After everyone else is movin' on

I've never felt the need to go seek higher ground

As long as I've got you, I'll stick around

Our little town
