Small Town Survival - Levi Stoker
Main streets are ghost towns
booted and blind
while the fiber optic cables leave the soul behind
The old man's hardware is a neon gem
and the river I fished in is looking mighty thin
They're selling us progress in a plastic box
while we're losing the keys to the heavy-duty locks
There's a high rise rising where the corn used to grow
and the faces are moving but they got nowhere to go
Oh, it's a small town survival
a war in the mud
holding on to roots with our sweat and our blood
They can change the map and they can pave the dirt
but they can't wash the grease off a working man's shirt
Yeah, we're the last of the breed
the ghosts in the rain
the only thing modern is the weight of the chain
My son got a screen where his dreams ought to be
he don't know the language of the hickory tree
Granddaddy's tractor is a garden of rust
and the family bible is gathering dust
But I still wake up when the whistle blows
planting my feet where the limestone shows
It's a small town survival
a war in the mud
holding on to roots with our sweat and our blood
They can change the map and they can pave the dirt
but they can't wash the grease off a working man's shirt
Yeah, we're the last of the breed
the ghosts in the rain
the only thing modern is the weight of the chain
Yeah
You can take the industry
you can take the store
but you'll never take the spirit on the 4x4
Madam lives alive
Small town's gonna die
but I'm still standing
Yeah
Yeah
