Love And War (In A Small Town)

The sun is up and I'm on the rise

Head to work but I'm feeling fine

Seems like everybody I know has come around

We're just a small town

When al and john and I were kids

I did what a younger brother did

I would watch them chase rattlers from the ground

And I prayed they'd never leave this town

But al and john went to Iraq

When al came home he held my mothers hand

As the church bells rang the whole town broke down

War in a small town

Yeah!

When my work is done and the moon comes up

I'm gonna call the preachers daughter and start my truck

Everybody but the preacher knows where were bound

But ain't no one talkin since my brother went down

We're gonna cross the strip to the liquor store

We're gonna pass the party on the river's shore

Tonight she says she wants higher ground

Way above the lights of our home town

And one day she'll be my wife

And the preacher will swear that we've done it right

But if he could hear tonight these sounds

Love in a small town

Yeah

Well I don't guess that I'll ever see

Paris, rome, or nyc

The strip and the river thats were I'm found

We're just a small town

We're just a small town

Yeah
