Hard Little TownThe sidewalk out here is still broken I see Done in by the roots of some dead oak trees Cut down by some loser with more money than sense If it gets in your way, kill it and spare no expense We stopped beside those trees during our last walk He glanced up at us but he would not talk He kept on raking those golden leaves in his yard I bet his soft hands get blisters when they work that hard Chorus: This is one hard little town Run by small minds with big bank accounts But all that money won't make you real If the last card's a bad one when it's your deal If you listen closely you might hear the sound Of big trees falling in a hard little town I came back here to take that walk all alone I retraced our steps but those trees are gone Just like the girl who once said I loved her too much She went to heaven, I went to the woods, things got tough The newspaper said his children tripped and fell Skinned knees means no more trees so what the hell See daddy beat nature with the cash in his hand I bet that made him feel like such a powerful man Chorus: This is one hard little town Run by small minds with big bank accounts But all that money won't make you real If the last card's a bad one when it's your deal If you listen closely you might hear the sound Of big trees falling in a hard little town Now I sit in this cabin out in the woods I'm sure he'd knock it down too if he could But it's out of the way and pretty hard to find And by the time they do I'll be across the state line Bridge: All I wanted were the places I used to play Some shade to shield me from all the heat But rich men in suits took them all away And left stumps, dirt and broken concrete Chorus: This is one hard little town Run by small minds with big bank accounts But all that money won't make you real If the last card's a bad one when it's your deal If you listen closely you might hear the sound Of big trees falling in a hard little town Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
