I went back home to check on my folks,
‘Cause they’re both getting on years
On the way out of town took a slow drive around
To see what had changed or just disappeared
Most of the stores by the four-way were closed, and
The Chevrolet garage is long gone
Grandpa’s old house, they finally tore down, and
Spilled all the memories out on the lawn.
But when I pulled over, in the shade of an oak,
Rolled down the window, and smelled the wood smoke…
The Frosty Treat still serves a nickel ice cream
The freezing rain’s still coming down
I’m still dating Evy in my ’64 Chevy,
And all of my friends are around
Now it might be tattered,
Bleached out and battered,
But it’s Still My Little Home Town
Factory’s gone with the steady day jobs, that
Kept farmers and families fed
So they put in a prison, a heartbreak decision, now
Addiction is takin’ the kids
The Farmers Exchange is still open on Main,
Where my uncle Don used to work
He died at the wheel, asleep in a field,
And the owner told Dad that he wasn’t the first
But when I pulled over, in the shade of an oak,
Rolled down the window, and smelled the wood smoke…
The Frosty Treat still serves a nickel ice cream.
The freezing rain’s still coming down, and
I’m still dating Evy in my ’64 Chevy,
And all of my friends are around
Now it might be tattered,
Bleached out and battered,
But it’s Still My Little Home Town
And I’m still dating Evy in my ’64 Chevy,
And all of my friends are around
Now it might be tattered,
Bleached out and battered,
But it’s Still My Little Home Town
It's still my little, my bittersweet riddle,
It’s Still My Little Home Town
