Too often when things change, especially in a small town, something has to lose out...the small town. That's what happened in this small town when the highway bypass took all the traffic and business away.

Story behind the song
The citizens of this small town were torn between their love for their town, and moving away to find jobs.
Lyrics
Everybody knows your name
In a small town
There's not much going on
When the sun goes down
The night-life's kinda slow
But it beats any place I know
And this is where my heart is
In a small town
The Baptist church is down the street
At the caution light
There's a service going on there today
For a heroes last fight
It's for little Robbie Jones
Who was killed fighting in a war zone
Defending his friends and his family
And this small town
(ch)
Life is slow but the living is good
In a small town
You can hear the whipoorwills at night
It's the only sound
Your next door neighbor is more than that
He's part of your family
And everyday I'm proud to say
This is where I want to be....in a small town
Now this town is slowly dying
Day by day
There's not much here for the young folks
So they move away
The mill just closed its doors
And the tourists don't stop anymore
Guess that's just the way life is
In a small town
(ch)
(bridge)
This is where I fell in love
And raised my family
And here is where I'm gonna stay
There's no better place for me...
Than in a small town...in a smalll town....
