tiny town

those dirt roads are gravel now, that old storefront is falling down, same ole population sign, still nine hundred thirty nine, they've come and gone, we'd fry fish out at grandma's house, man i sure wish she was with us now, we learned to live, we laughed a lot, had less time than we had thought, it's come and gone, moving forward looking back, i can't get more than what i had, all these memories like roots in the ground, i may be gone but i never left, still the kid on that porch step, of the only home that i have ever found, with big dreams, a big mouth, and a big heart, for that tiny town, no city lights but we had the stars, this whole town was my backyard, johnny reb talkin' tough, i'd find out where trouble was, just because, i'd rope swing in that river bend, where i got baptized and born again, finding fields, and slingin' mud, crazy kids and summer love, where i come from, moving forward looking back, i can't get more than what i had, all these memories like roots in the ground, i may be gone but i never left, still the kid on that porch step, of the only home that i have ever found, with big dreams,a big mouth, and a big heart, for that tiny town, i know that you can't see it on a map, but it's everything that made me who i am, moving forward looking back, i can't get more than what i had, all these memories like roots in the ground, i may be gone but i never left, still the kid on that porch step, of the only home that i have ever found, with big dreams, a big mouth, and a big heart, for that tiny town
