I grew up in a tiny town
Sidewalks rolled up when the sun went down
And we played in the street 'til my mom said, "Come eat"
In that tiny town
Dad ran a station by the railroad track
Half his life he spent on his back
Underneath a car, Lord, he worked so hard
In that tiny town
They say, "Home is where your heart is"
And I guess it's true
And they say you can't go back
But I close my eyes and I'm driving through
My mom sold Avon in the neighborhood
And I'd wait in the car hoping she'd done good
So I'd have a dime to spend on the ice cream man
In that tiny town
I got the car when I was just fifteen
And five dollars bought a lot of gasoline
To the drive in picture show where we used to go
In that tiny town
They say, "Home is where your heart is"
And I guess it's true
And they say you can't go back
But I close my eyes and I'm driving through
And now the years they fly by oh, so fast
So much of life we lose to the past
But I'm proud to say that I was raised
In a tiny town
I'm proud to say that I was raised
In a tiny town
