Little Man Lyrics - Greatest Hits Volume Ii - Alan Jackson

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk 

Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want 

There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry 

And the ol' 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 em down 

And killed the little man 

Oh the little man

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Every Lyric From Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Younger Now' 

Listen To Every Song Of The Summer Since 1958 In Our Ultimate Mega-Mix 

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 

But he couldn't sell slurpees 

And 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 em 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'er killin' the little man 

Oh 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 em 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 forgoten 

about the little man 

The little man 

Long live the little man 

God bless the little man
