Lori McKenna - Smaller and Smaller lyrics
[Lori McKenna - Smaller and Smaller lyrics]
Downtown dinner, doors are locked
Old man got no way to talk
And complain about tomorrow’s rain
That tore down the little white church
A big mall grew out of the dirt
A bigger lawn, a parking lot
This town is getting smaller and smaller
It’s disappearing, it’s all moved on
No front doors unlocked
No kitchen locks at door
Some things last forever, some things don’t
It’s pouring now, but take a look around
This town is getting smaller and smaller
No town play, no baseball fields
The river shore line lying on brick and steal
Neon sirens killing stars
Traffic lights fixed in yards
Mixed up neighbors don’t know who you are
It’s bigger yet and I believe
This town is getting smaller and smaller
It’s disappearing, it’s all moved on
No front doors unlocked
No kitchen locks at door
Some things last forever, some things don’t
It’s pouring now, but take a look around
This town is getting smaller and smaller
Drive in county roads, 2am
Wish I could be a kid again
Before the world came closing in
This town’s getting smaller and smaller
Old man got no way to talk
And complain about tomorrow’s rain
That tore down the little white church
A big mall grew out of the dirt
A bigger lawn, a parking lot
This town is getting smaller and smaller
It’s disappearing, it’s all moved on
No front doors unlocked
No kitchen locks at door
Some things last forever, some things don’t
It’s pouring now, but take a look around
This town is getting smaller and smaller
No town play, no baseball fields
The river shore line lying on brick and steal
Neon sirens killing stars
Traffic lights fixed in yards
Mixed up neighbors don’t know who you are
It’s bigger yet and I believe
This town is getting smaller and smaller
It’s disappearing, it’s all moved on
No front doors unlocked
No kitchen locks at door
Some things last forever, some things don’t
It’s pouring now, but take a look around
This town is getting smaller and smaller
Drive in county roads, 2am
Wish I could be a kid again
Before the world came closing in
This town’s getting smaller and smaller
