I don't read the paper, I don't watch the news 

Life's good in this small town, population 62 

Our bank ain't been heldup since 1932 

Our doors are always unlocked 

But not for long I'm tellin' you



(chorus) 

'Cause I know time's are gonna change 

I know life will never be the same 

I see please tell me it ain't so 

They're all movin' in surroundin' me 

No place left to go 

My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye







Used to have a small town drugstore 

Where old men liked to meet 

That store's gone out of business 

They're sellin' drugs out in the streets 

The new kids like to spray paint 

They've got a lot to say 

Sure do have a way with words 

Taught me a few today



(chorus) 

'Cause I know time's are gonna change 

I know life will never be the same 

I see small town folks like me 

Are gonna have to change the way we do things cause eventually 

My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye 

Kiss it goodbye



(repeat 1st chorus)



(repeat 2nd chorus)
