Little Man[00:00:00]
Alan Jackson[00:00:03]
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[00:00:21]
They ware the little man[00:00:25]
The little man[00:00:29]
I go back now and the stores are all empty[00:00:34]
Except for an old coke sign from 1950[00:00:38]
Boarded up like they never existed[00:00:42]
Or renovated and called historic districts[00:00:46]
There goes the little man[00:00:50]
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[00:01:22]
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat[00:01:26]
The new stores came where you do it yourself[00:01:30]
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf[00:01:33]
Forget about the little man[00:01:37]
Forget about that little man[00:01:41]
He hung on there for a few more years[00:01:46]
But he couldn′t sell slurpees[00:01:50]
And he wouldn′t sell beer[00:01:52]
Now the bank rents the station[00:01:54]
To a down the road[00:01:57]
And sell velvet Elvis and[00:01:58]
Second-hand clothes[00:02:00]
There goes little man[00:02:02]
There goes another little man[00:02:04]
Now the court square′s just a set of streets[00:02:09]
That the people go round but they seldom think[00:02:14]
Bout the little man that built this town[00:02:17]
Before the big money shut em down[00:02:22]
And killed the little man[00:02:25]
Oh the little man[00:02:30]
Now the are lined up in a concrete strip[00:02:54]
You can buy the world with just one trip[00:02:58]
And save a penny cause it′s jumbo size[00:03:02]
They don′t even realize[00:03:06]
They′er killin′ the little man[00:03:10]
Oh the little man[00:03:14]
Now the court square′s just a set of streets[00:03:17]
That the people go round but they seldom think[00:03:22]
Bout the little man that built this town[00:03:25]
Before the big money shut em down[00:03:30]
And killed the little man[00:03:33]
Oh the little man[00:03:38]
It wasn′t long when I was a child[00:03:42]
An old black man came with his plow[00:03:46]
He broke the ground where we grew our garden[00:03:50]
Back before we′d all forgot[00:03:54]
About the little man[00:04:00]
The little man[00:04:04]
Long live the little man[00:04:07]
God bless the little man[00:04:12]
