I wrote this song close to 20 years ago. It's called, "A Real Small Town "
Well the kids have grown up and we've settled down
And bought ourselves a house near a real small town
The scenery is pretty and the neighbors really fine
But the wife can't understand what takes up all my time
'Cause every time I go to town you know it never fails
To get a pound of coffee or a half a pound of nails
Or walking through the grocery store and looking through the aisles
I'm greeting all my neighbors and I'm giving back their smiles
And it's "Hey Bob! How's the wife, how's the job
How's the kids, No kidding?
Well isn't she a dear
Did I hear you say and I saw the other day...
Ain't it funny how nothing ever happens 'round here
I wrote it (and two more verses) one weekend after it took about 20 minutes to walk from one side of the little farmers market to the other.
Best
