Tiny towns Lyrics

You grab your jacket and your keys

And you put your new shoes on

You'll see the metaphysical apparitions

That appear before the dawn

You'll have it all

One less way to fall

But through the muddy slush

And slop and slime

You'd think that you

Could still find the time to stall

It's the weirdest little thing

When you put it into words

When you're passing through a tiny town

That no one's ever heard of

'Til it's gone

Driving towards the dawn

Memories flash through windshields

Like leaves out on the lawn

A busy brick-built square

And a courthouse for the town

Where you could live a life

Get married, settle down

It could've been you

A quiet life for two

But all those vintage cars

And mason jars

No amount will ever change

That lonely blue

Passing picket fences

And 100,000 farms

Where a million bovine friends

Fall asleep inside the barns

Their days are sweet

Just like you and me

They graze out in the pasture

Until we turn them into meat

But the people all out there

Are so tangible and kind

A loving wife and a happy home

To give them peace of mind

That's who they are

Numbered like the stars

They work days and sleep nights

Pillow fights and camping in the yard

Sunny days make a simple life

She knitted you a scarf made out of yarn

Sleep for a little longer

Hit snooze on your alarm

Homemade meals and reading lights

The people you love

Right there in your arms
