Alan Jackson: Little Man

aus dem Album: Greatest Hits Volume II

Songtext:
I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk Druckerei Visitenkarten
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 Thai-Massage

I go back now and the stores are all empty
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
Boarded up like they never existed
Or renovated and called historic districts Zugvögel
There goes the little man
There goes the little man

Chorus:
Body Belt
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 skigebiet kitzbühel
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 Gewinnspiel kostenlos
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget about the little man
Forget about that little man

He hung on there for a few more years 1. Bundesliga Tabelle
But he couldn't sell slurpees
And he wouldn't sell beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a down the road
And sell velvet Elvis and Wellness Hotel Ostsee
Second-hand clothes
There goes little man
There goes another little man

Now the are lined up in a concrete strip Hotel Usedom
You can buy the world with 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 Pilates Instruktor

It wasn't long when I was a child
An old black man came with his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgot
about the little man
The little man
Long live the little man
God bless the little man
