Life In My Small Town



There's nothing like a bedroom community
With small churches and friendly people
You go to the bank and they know your name
Your phone and bank account number are the same

Somebody waves at you as you pass through town
You wave back and then you slow down
Roll down your car window and shout, "Howdy do"
Then you wonder if they really do know you

But you don't care and they don't either
You're just being polite; just taking a breather
Small towns have this effect on you
And it just seems like the right thing to do

This is where you have set your roots
Hung your hat and donned your boots
The country life is what you crave
Where your kids can grow and learn to behave

Thank God for Small Town, USA
Thank God for Baldwyn, Mississippi
