I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk[00:00:09]
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want[00:00:13]
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry[00:00:18]
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary[00:00:20]
They ware the little man[00:00:25]
The little man[00:00:28]
I go back now and the stores are all empty[00:00:34]
Except for an old coke sign from 1950[00:00:37]
Boarded up like they never existed[00:00:42]
Or renovated and called historic districts[00:00:44]
There goes the little man[00:00:48]
There goes the little man[00:00:53]
Now the court square's just a set of streets[00:00:57]
That the people go round but they seldom think[00:01:01]
Bout the little man that built this town[00:01:05]
Before the big money shut em down[00:01:09]
And killed the little man[00:01:13]
Oh the little man[00:01:17]
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass[00:01:18]
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat[00:01:24]
The new stores came where you do it yourself[00:01:28]
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf[00:01:32]
Forget about the little man[00:01:37]
Forget about that little man[00:01:40]
He hung on there for a few more years[00:01:41]
But he couldn't sell slurpees[00:01:48]
And he wouldn't sell beer[00:01:50]
Now the bank rents the station[00:01:52]
To a down the road[00:01:55]
And sell velvet Elvis and[00:01:58]
Second-hand clothes[00:01:59]
There goes little man[00:02:00]
There goes another little man[00:02:04]
Now the are lined up in a concrete strip[00:02:09]
You can buy the world with just one trip[00:02:11]
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size[00:02:20]
They don't even realize[00:02:27]
They'er killin' the little man[00:02:28]
Oh the little man[00:02:29]
It wasn't long when I was a child[00:02:31]
An old black man came with his plow[00:02:55]
He broke the ground where we grew our garden[00:03:26]
Back before we'd all forgot about the little man[00:03:28]
The little man[00:03:30]
Long live the little man[00:03:30]
God bless the little man[00:03:31]
