Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

Smaller

Things are obsolete before you get them home

They’re out of style the day you put ‘em on.

A bigger this, a faster that

If that’s really where it’s at

It makes me wanna make my world

Smaller like the town where I was raised

Slower, an easy gentle pace

Fewer, things to take up space

There’s higher, there’s wider, there’s taller, but for me

Better isn’t bigger, it’s smaller.

In this frantic and expanding universe

You gotta get ahead, you gotta finish first

It’s gone too far, I’m spread too thin

I’ve got to find myself again

I’d like to see my circle grow.

Smaller like the town where I was raised

Slower, an easy gentle pace

Fewer, things to take up space

There’s higher, there’s wider, there’s taller, but for me

Better isn’t bigger, it’s smaller.

When I follow my own heart

It’s like the sound of a different drum

But if I listen I start to see my cares become

Smaller like the town where I was raised

Slower, an easy gentle pace

Fewer, things to take up space

There’s higher, there’s wider, there’s taller, but for me

Better isn’t bigger, it’s smaller.
