Downtown dinner, doors are locked Old man got no way to talk And complain about tomorrow's rain That tore down the little white church A big mall grew out of the dirt A three-year good lawn, a parking lot This town is getting smaller and smaller It's disappearing, it's all moved on No front doors unlocked No kitchen locks at door Some things last forever, some things don't It's pouring now, but take a look around This town is getting smaller and smaller No town play, no baseball fields The river shore line lying on brick and steal Neon signs killing stars Traffic lights fixed in yards Next door neighbors don't know who you are It's bigger yet and I believe This town is getting smaller and smaller It's disappearing, it's all moved on No front doors unlocked No kitchen locks at door Some things last forever, some things don't It's pouring now, but take a look around This town is getting smaller and smaller Drive in county roads, 2 a.m. Wish I could be a kid again Before the world came closing in This town's getting smaller and smaller
