Smaller and Smaller Songtext
von Lori McKenna

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
