Country Town

V1 It’s diff’rent from any place you’ve been Off the interstate -- ‘tween 12th and West End Songwriter nights at the Commodore And Sunday pickin’ on the front porch It’s everybody helpin’ everybody else Doin’ for others what’s good for themselves Makin’ it big ain’t what it seems They’re just ordinary folks chasin’ a dream (Chorus) It’s mamas and their kids Playin’ in the park Lovers in the square Strollin’ after dark Neighbors on the steps Sayin’ “Come sit down” It may be Music City But don’t you know It’s just a little ole -- Country Town V2 So take your ticket and get in line Waitin’ your turn for a “Grand Ole” time You’ll make some friends along the way Playin’ out at night and workin’ all day Waitin’ on tables or drivin’ trucks Till your number’s up or you’re out of luck May be diff’rent than what you planned When you get here you’ll understand |
