Make the World a Small Town

Folks 'round here

Will give you the shirt off their back

May be simple how we talk

But our words a check you can cash

There's history and family

Far back as you can see

And I wish London to Tennessee

Felt like Thackerville to me

If I could make the world a small town

Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down

Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around

If I could make the world a small town

A small town

There's a sweetness in the water

Everybody knows your name

Biscuits on the table

Everybody has a place

Corn and cows, kids and kindness

Growing up everywhere

Some things you just can't teach

You just know from being there

If I could make the world a small town

Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down

Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around

If I could make the world a small town

One big family

One home team

Maybe I'm crazy

But I believe

If I could make the world a small town

Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down

Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around

If I could make the world a small town

A small town

A small town
