Little Man [In the Style of Alan Jackson [00:00:01]
I remember walkin' 'round[00:00:15]
The court square sidewalk[00:00:18]
Lookin' in windows[00:00:20]
At things I couldn't want[00:00:21]
There's Johnson's hardware[00:00:24]
And Morgan's jewelry[00:00:25]
And the old Lee King's apothecary[00:00:27]
They ware the little man [00:00:31]
The little man[00:00:35]
I go back now and the stores are empty[00:00:40]
Except for an old coke sign dated 1950[00:00:43]
Boarded up like they never existed[00:00:48]
Or renovated and called historic districts[00:00:52]
There goes the little man [00:00:55]
There goes the little man[00:00:58]
Now the court square's[00:01:03]
Just a set of streets[00:01:04]
That the people go round[00:01:07]
But they seldom think[00:01:09]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:01:11]
Before the big money shut them down[00:01:15]
And killed the little man [00:01:19]
Oh the little man[00:01:22]
He pumped your gas[00:01:27]
And he cleaned your glass[00:01:29]
And one cold rainy night [00:01:31]
He fixed your flat[00:01:33]
The new stores came[00:01:35]
Where you do it yourself[00:01:37]
You buy a lotto ticket[00:01:38]
And food off the shelf[00:01:41]
Forget the little man [00:01:42]
Forget about that little man[00:01:46]
He hung on there[00:01:52]
For a few more years[00:01:53]
He couldn't sell Slurpees [00:01:55]
He wouldn't sell beer[00:01:57]
Now the bank rents the station[00:01:59]
To a man down the road[00:02:01]
And they sell velvet Elvis[00:02:02]
And second-hand clothes[00:02:05]
There goes little man [00:02:06]
There goes another little man[00:02:10]
Now the court square's[00:02:14]
Just a set of streets[00:02:16]
That the people go 'round[00:02:19]
But they seldom think[00:02:20]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:02:22]
Before the big money shut them down[00:02:27]
And killed the little man [00:02:30]
Oh the little man[00:02:34]
Now the stores are lined up[00:02:58]
In a concrete strip[00:03:00]
You can buy the whole world[00:03:02]
In just one trip[00:03:04]
And save a penny 'cause[00:03:07]
It's jumbo size[00:03:08]
They don't even realize[00:03:10]
They're killin' the little man [00:03:14]
Oh the little man[00:03:18]
And the court square's just a set of streets[00:03:22]
That the people go 'round[00:03:26]
But they seldom think[00:03:28]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:03:30]
Before the big money shut them down[00:03:34]
And killed the little man [00:03:38]
Oh the little man[00:03:42]
It wasn't long ago[00:03:46]
When I was a child[00:03:48]
An old black man came[00:03:50]
With his mule and his plow[00:03:52]
He broke the ground[00:03:54]
Where we grew our garden[00:03:55]
Back before we'd all forgotten[00:03:58]
About the little man [00:04:03]
The little man[00:04:08]
Long live the little man[00:04:11]
God bless the little man[00:04:16]
