Alan Jackson - Little Man Lyrics

Send "Little Man" ringtone to your cell

I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalk

Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want

There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry

And the old Lee King's apothecary

They ware the little man the little man

I go back now and the stores are empty

Except for an old coke sign dated 1950

Boarded up like they never existed

Or renovated and called historic districts

There goes the little man there goes the little man

Now the court square's just a set of streets

That the people go round but they seldom think

'Bout the little man that built this town

Before the big money shut them down

And killed the little man oh the little man

He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass

And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat

The new stores came where you do it yourself

You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf

Forget the little man forget about that little man

He hung on there for a few more years

He couldn't sell Slurpees he wouldn't sell beer

Now the bank rents the station to a man down the road

And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes

There goes little man there goes another little man

Now the court square's just a set of streets

That the people go 'round but they seldom think

'Bout the little man that built this town

Before the big money shut them down

And killed the little man oh the little man

Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip

You can buy the whole world in just one trip

And save a penny 'cause it's jumbo size

They don't even realize

They're killin' the little man oh the little man

And the court square's just a set of streets

That the people go 'round but they seldom think

'Bout the little man that built this town

Before the big money shut them down

And killed the little man oh the little man

It wasn't long ago when I was a child

An old black man came with his mule and his plow

He broke the ground where we grew our garden

Back before we'd all forgotten

About the little man the little man

Long live the little man

God bless the little man
