"Smaller And Smaller" lyrics - LORI MCKENNA

Downtown dinner, doors are locked
Old man got no way to talk.
And complain about tomorrow's rain
That tore down the little white church
A big mall grew out of the dirt,
A bigger lawn, a parking lot,
This town is getting smaller and smaller.

It's disappearing, it's all moved on,
No front doors unlocked,
No kitchen locks at door,
Some things last forever, some things don't
It's pouring now, but take a look around,
This town is getting smaller and smaller.

No town play, no baseball fields,
The river shore line lying on brick and steal.
Neon sirens killing stars,
Traffic lights fixed in yards,
Mixed up neighbors don't know who you are.
It's bigger yet and I believe
This town is getting smaller and smaller.

It's disappearing, it's all moved on,
No front doors unlocked,
No kitchen locks at door,
Some things last forever, some things don't
It's pouring now, but take a look around,
This town is getting smaller and smaller.

Drive in county roads, 2am,
Wish I could be a kid again.
Before the world came closing in,
This town's getting smaller and smaller.
