Northern Cities Shift - I Believe In Small Towns
I came home turned on the local news
Heard the factory had to cut loose
A few thousand workers
Cause some billionaire in LA
Does he know the pain
Does he know the hurt
To tell that person there out of work
Cause it's cheaper somewhere else somewhere new
Well I believe in small town people
Working hard on the weekdays, raise hell on the weekends
Still make it to church every Sundays
They barbeque outside and watch some pigskin
Cheer real loud for the underdogs
Help out each other when the goings tough
Yeah there's nothing like um so don't let them fade out
I believe in the small towns
Now there's one movie theater and general store
That's been there for a hundred years or more
But the big chains are slowly driving them away
To pay a few less doesn't seem right to me
Just to uproot all that history
And that families way of life
Well I believe in small town people
Working hard on the weekdays, raise hell on the weekends
Still make it to church every Sundays
They barbeque outside and watch some racing
Cheer real loud for the underdogs
Help out each other when the goings tough
Yeah there's nothing like um so don't let them fade out
I believe in the small towns
Well this story is true in fact it's close to me
My dad was one of those workers cut loose from the factory
And I worked my way though college at that general store
And I still cheer and root for my friends and family back home
Cause I'm one of those small town people
I work hard on the weekdays, raise hell on the weekends
Still make it to church every Sundays
I barbeque outside and watch the Orange play
Cheer real loud for the underdogs
Help out my brother when the goings tough
There's nothing like us so don't let us fade out
I believe
Yeah I believe
I believe in the small towns
These small towns
From sea to shining sea small towns
