[Chorus]
This a real Gsmall town
GFull of real fine folks
GWho fell on real hard times
 DWhen the boom went broke
CAnd they work Greal hard
CAnd they pray Greal loud
C'Cause there's a real Gbig heart
DIn this real Gsmall town
[Verse 1]
The cost of liEmving
It may Cshift just like Gsand
But on my Cgrandfather's Gland
It's been Dsteady as his hand
I used to Emhold when
We'd go Cout and check the Gcows
And that's Cwhere he taught me Ghow
To make my Dliving from the ground
And I Amdon't intend to let him downC  
[Chorus]
This a real small Gtown
Full of Creal fine Gfolks
Who fell on Creal hard Gtimes
When the Emboom went Dbroke
And they Cwork real Ghard
And they Cpray real Gloud
'Cause there's a Creal big Gheart
In this Dreal small Gtown
[Verse 2]
Every SunEmday
I start the Cweek off gettin' Gright
Get direcCtion for my Glife
At the Ddowntown church of Christ
Next to the GcourthouseEm  
Where they Cdecorate the Ggrass
With Cfifty-seven Gflags
For the Dlives we won't get Gback
And I Amdon't intend to forget the Cpast
[Chorus]
This a real small Gtown
Full of Creal fine Gfolks
Who fell on Creal hard Gtimes
When the Emboom went Dbroke
And they Cwork real Ghard
And they Cpray real Gloud
'Cause there's a Creal big Gheart
In this Dreal small Gtown

I Emcouldn't paint a picture of this Gplace
In my younger Ddays
Oh, how Amtimes changeC  Am

But on my grandfather's land

It's been steady as his hand

Get direction for my life

At the downtown church of Christ

With fifty-seven flags

For the lives we won't get back
