My Little Town

It was years ago, I was passing through.
That big city was calling, with so much to do,
but I was here just for a while and I would be on my way.
But that “just for a while” turned into a year,
and I found myself connecting to here,
as family and friends helped me to want to stay.
Even though this place was growing on me
other voices called telling me where I should be
until one day as I stepped outside and looked around
and it occurred to me, things have changed somehow
and I was never more happy than I am now
it felt good to be here, in my little town.
My little town,… my little town.

Walking downtown, amongst the small shops and stores
I found a lot of what I needed was within their doors,
still, cities to the north and south had more to give.
But the different mindset here; life kind of easy and slow
that you find yourself missing from, whenever you go,
made me realize that here is where I wanted to live.
I remember the rat race, going round and about,
thinking back then, that someday I’d find a way out
and as I’m looking at the mountains from a canoe out in the sound,
I know things can seem better from the window of a bus
but I think things have turned out for the better for us
to be a part of this community in my little town.
My little town,… my little town.

Strolling down the street just feeling kind of good,
stopping and going in the neighborhood,
melding with the fall rain and the leaves turning brown.
Friends smile and greet us as we take another turn,
asking of our welfare with sweet, genuine concern,
I’m thinking, life is good here, in my little town.
