G
This a real small town
G
Full of real fine folks
G
Who fell on real hard times
D
When the boom went broke
C G
And they work real hard
C G
And they pray real loud
C G
'Cause there's a real big heart
D G
In this real small town
[Verse 1]
Em
The cost of living
C G
It may shift just like sand
C G
But on my grandfather's land
D
It's been steady as his hand
Em
I used to hold when
C G
We'd go out and check the cows
C G
And that's where he taught me how
D
To make my living from the ground
Am C
And I don't intend to let him down
[Chorus]
G
This a real small town
C G
Full of real fine folks

Who fell on real hard times
Em D
When the boom went broke
C G
And they work real hard
C G
And they pray real loud
C G
'Cause there's a real big heart
D G
In this real small town
[Verse 2]
Em
Every Sunday
C G
I start the week off gettin' right
C G
Get direction for my life
D
At the downtown church of Christ
G Em
Next to the courthouse
C G
Where they decorate the grass
C G
With fifty-seven flags
D G
For the lives we won't get back
Am C
And I don't intend to forget the past
[Chorus]

I couldn't paint a picture of this place

In my younger days

Oh, how times change
