Still My Little Home Town Lyrics

I went back home to check on my folks

'Cause they're both getting on in years

On the way out of town, I took a slow drive around

To see what had changed or had disappeared

Most of the stores by the four-way were closed

And the Chevrolet garage is long gone

And Grandpa's old house, they finally tore down, and

Spilled all the memories out on the lawn

But when I pulled over, in the shade of an oak

Rolled down the window, and smelled the wood smoke...

The Frosty Treat still serves a nickel ice cream

The freezing rain's still coming down.

And I'm still dating Evy in my '64 Chevy

And all of my friends are around

Now it might be tattered, bleached out and battered

But it's still my little home town

The factory's gone with the steady day jobs

That kept farmers and families fed

And they put in a prison, a heartbreak decision

Now addiction is takin' the kids

The Farmers Exchange is still open on Main

Where my uncle Don used to work

He died at the wheel, asleep in a field

And the owner told Dad that he wasn't the first

But when I pulled over, in the shade of an oak

Rolled down the window, and smelled the wood smoke...

The Frosty Treat still serves a nickel ice cream

The freezing rain's still coming down

I'm still dating Evy in my '64 Chevy

And all of my friends are around

Now it might be tattered, bleached out and battered

But it's still my little home town

And I'm still dating Evy in my '64 Chevy

And all of my friends are around

Now, it might be tattered, bleached out and battered

But it's still my little home town

It's still my little, my bittersweet riddle

It's Still My Little Home Town
