Intro: verse 1 Downtown diner, doors are locked Old man got nowhere to talk And complain about tomorrow’s rain They tore down the little white church A big mall grew out of the dirt The ( ? ) lawn, a parking lot This town's getting smaller and smaller It’s disappearing, it’s almost gone No front doors unlocked, no kitchen lights left on Some things last forever, some things don’t It’s forming now, but take a look around This town's getting smaller and smaller verse 2 No town parade, no baseball field River shoreline lined with brick and steel Neon signs killing stars Traffic lights, fenced in yards Next door neighbours, don’t know who you are It’s bigger, yeah, and I believe This town's getting smaller and smaller It’s disappearing, it’s almost gone No front doors unlocked, no kitchen lights left on Some things last forever and some things don’t It’s forming now, but take a look around This town's getting smaller and smaller Instrumental: verse 3 Driving county roads, 2am Wish I could be a kid again Before the world came closing in This town's getting smaller and smaller
