lyrics

Sittin’ in the shade watchin’ the clock
Seems to me that my watch is stopped
But it’s not
Lazy summer afternoons often pass this way
Water drops creeping down my glass
Measure out the day

Measuring my small town blues
I’ve got the small town blues

There’s an old man rollin’ down the street
Pullin’ his wheel chair along with his bare feet
He’s always sure to be patriotic, wears so many flags, looks almost idiotic but
He’s proud and I’m proud too

We share the small town blues
We’ve got the small town blues

Young man comes around everyday
I swear he just wants to
Smoke his whole life away
Long as the sun’s up, he’s around
I don’t know why this boy
Just doesn’t get out of this town

He’s suffering from small town blues
He’s got the small town blues

Everyone here knows my name
I’m sick of playing this with who, what, when, where game
I know I’d go if I had the chance:
Find some new faces, make some romance
But I’m not infuriated… Just incompacitated…

By these small town blues
I’ve got the small town blues

The sun sets but it leaves the heat behind
The tiny beads of sweat I wipe away
Measure out the time
Now
I turn around as a man walks up the stairs
He takes my hand
I tustle his
Hair

He’s my partner in the small town blues
We’ve got the small town blues
They’re not so bad, these small town blues
Maybe I even
Love these
Small Town Blues
