Small Town Blues

from Prisoners of the Heart by Mark Lucas

/

about

This small town's getting smaller every day... written on the day of the funeral of a guitar-playing friend, the late Mark Kirk.

lyrics

Seems this small town’s getting smaller every day
Folks just keep on passing on their way
And though life goes on you’d really have to say
This small town’s getting smaller every day

There’s some who feel the urge to spread their wings
Move on up the road to seek their dreams
Call it sea change call it tree change it’s all the same
And this small town’s getting smaller every day

This small town’s getting smaller every day…

It used to be our neighbours were our friends
With us through life’s straights & through life’s bends
But the neighbourhood’s just real estate these days
And this small town’s getting smaller every day

This small town’s getting smaller every day…

Now it’s just the old folks who recall
Life before fast food and shopping malls
And a time when folks’d smile and say good day
On streets where you could watch the children play

This small town’s getting smaller every day…
