Lyrics

VERSE 1:
I haven’t seen a cotton field for months until today
I’d forgotten how those white caps fill the earth and how they sway
Its magic, magic
Just around the corner there’ll be train tracks by the park
We all sat sharing Andy’s ice cream, kicking back and counting cars
laughing, just laughing
I been gone chasing bigger dreams
But I know what’s always waiting for me, in this…

CHORUS:
Little town in America, nothing to do but fall in love
Everybody knows your name from Sunday school and baseball games
Momma says on the county line there’s a place for sale that could be mine
If its time now to settle down in a little town in America

VERSE 2:
You’ll never keep the dust out living on a gravel road
There ain’t no secrets, no strangers, no place you shouldn’t go
Its open, wide open
And we all made a fuss about getting out, but I’ve never missed home like this until now, cuz its my…

CHORUS:
Little town in America, nothing to do but fall in love
Everybody knows your name from Sunday school and baseball games
Momma says on the county line there’s a place for sale that could be mine
If its time now to settle down in a little town in America

BRIDGE:
There’s somewhere to work, someone to love
Something to hope for out your front door while you’re making new dreams up
And you put your roots down, in this..

CHORUS:
Little town in America, nothing to do but fall in love
Everybody knows your name from Sunday school and baseball games
Momma’s out on the county line on that piece of land I’m making mine
Cuz its time now to settle down in a little town in America, America, Oh yeah
Oh that’s my little town
