Make the World a Small Town

Folks 'round here Will give you the shirt off their back May be simple how we talk But our words a check you can cash There's history and family Far back as you can see And I wish London to Tennessee Felt like Thackerville to me If I could make the world a small town Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around If I could make the world a small town A small town There's a sweetness in the water Everybody knows your name Biscuits on the table Everybody has a place Corn and cows, kids and kindness Growing up everywhere Some things you just can't teach You just know from being there If I could make the world a small town Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around If I could make the world a small town One big family One home team Maybe I'm crazy But I believe If I could make the world a small town Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around If I could make the world a small town A small town A small town
