Love And War (in A Small Town) Lyrics - Lost Trailers

the sun is up and i'm on the rise 

head to work but i'm feeling fine 

seems like everybody i know has come around 

we're just a small town 

when al and john and i were kids 

i did what a younger brother did 

i would watch them chase rattlers from the ground 

and i prayed they'd never leave this town 

but al and john went to Iraq 

when al came home he held my mothers hand 

as the church bells rang the whole town broke down 

war in a small town 

yeah! 

when my work is done and the moon comes up 

i'm gonna call the preachers daughter and start my truck 

everybody but the preacher knows where were bound 

but aint no one talkin since my brother went down 

we're gonaa cross the strip to the liquor store 

we're gonna pass the party on the river's shore 

tonight she says she wants higher ground 

way above the lights of our home town 

and one day she'll be my wife 

and the preacher will swear that we've done it right 

but if he could hear tonight these sounds 

love in a small town 

yeah 

well i dont guess that i'll ever see 

paris, rome, or nyc 

the strip and the river thats were i'm found 

we're just a small town
