Little Man

In the style of

Alan Jackson

Lyrics

i remember
walkin' 'round
the court square
sidewalks
lookin' in windows
at things
i couldn't want

there's
johnson's hardware
and morgan's jewelry
and the ol' lee king's
apothecary
they were
the little man
the little man

i go back now
and the stores
are empty
except an old
coke sign dated 1950

boarded up like they
never existed or
renovated and called
historic districts
there goes
the little man
there goes
the little man

now the
court square's just a
set of streets
that people
go around
but they seldom think
'bout the little man
that built this town

before the big money
shut 'em down
and killed
the little man
aw the little man

he pumped your gas
and he'd
clean your glass
one cold rainy night
he fixed your flat

the new store came
where you
do it yourself you buy
a lotto ticket
and food off the shelf
forget the little man
forget about
that little man

a-he hung on there
for a few more years
but he couldn't
sell slurpees
and he
wouldn't sell beer

now the bank
rents the station
to a man
down the road
and they sell
velvet elvis

and second-hand
clothes
there goes
the little man
there goes
another little man

now the
court square's just a
set of streets
that people
go around
but they seldom think

'bout the little man
that built this town
before the big money
shut 'em down
and killed
the little man
aw the little man

now the stores
are lined up
in a concrete strip
you can buy
the whole world
in just one trip

and save a penny
'cause it's jumbo size
and they
don't even realize
they're killin'
the little man
aw the little man

now the
court square's just a
set of streets
that people
go around
but they seldom think

'bout the little man
that built this town
before the big money
shut 'em down
and killed
the little man
aw the little man

it wasn't long ago
when i was a child
an old black man came
with his mule
and his plow

he broke the ground
where we
grew our garden
back before
we'd all forgotten

about the little man
the little man
long live
the little man
god bless
the little man
