Lyrics:
alone
Hope you're okay with that
Don't call us small town
Never have been, never will
It's a big time sundown
Little house up on a hill
We marry
Beat up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't
This song was first released on the stonehaven sunrise
album. it is the only album it has been released on.

Many
America to me
The place I work in
The worker by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air
light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by
Kid's rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off go
At first Mom and Papa called the little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of the riverbed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my Papa
But I spell a P a little bitty E Sweet bop bop bop shoo shoobie doobie doh
In a little round O
Now you add another P a big skinny L There's one more E
She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow
old back room
He'd bob his head and say, "Damn, oh, that's you?"
But by The Black Album, I was blackin' out
Party at S.O.B.'s and we had packed
old back room
He'd bob his head and say, "Damn, oh, that's you?"
But by The Black Album, I was blackin' out
Party at S.O.B.'s and we had packed
This town ain't big, this town ain't small
It's a little of both they say
Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A
We sit
to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o, town o, town o
and pistol by his side, a - huh, a - huh, fare the well
Well he rode down to Miss Mouse's door
Where he had often been before
He took Miss Mousie on his
to a great big pen
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in
Said a couple of you gonna grease my chin
Before I leave this town o, town o, town o
day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.
One day I devised
Just shovel a little good earth over my head
'Til everybody open up the hymn book and sing a happy song
Shall we gather at the river in the sweet by
more whores on the dick
This ones for Clue and my Riker's Island niggas
That remember when I came through

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
But I've been a workin' man dang near all of my life
And I'll keep on workin' long as my
A little town of honest people
Some we haven't seen for quite awhile
I was young and restless
And we both were full of dreams and running wild.
We left
Born in the country and I like that country smile
Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child
That I knew and a big harvest moon

Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't
in Central Park
Lovers waiting for the dark
In our little penthouse on top of the town
Each evening we'll stargaze, we'll never look down
