"Make The World A Small Town" lyrics

Folks 'round here
Will give you the shirt off their back
May be simple how we talk
But our words a check you can cash
There's history and family
Far back as you can see
And I wish London to Tennessee
Felt like Thackerville to me

If I could make the world a small town
Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down
Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around
If I could make the world a small town
A small town

There's a sweetness in the water
Everybody knows your name
Biscuits on the table
Everybody has a place
Corn and cows, kids and kindness
Growing up everywhere
Some things you just can't teach
You just know from being there

If I could make the world a small town
Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down
Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around
If I could make the world a small town

One big family
One home team
Maybe I'm crazy
But I believe

If I could make the world a small town
Maybe we'd pray a little more, thank the Lord, learn to slow it all down
Maybe all of us would love big enough to turn it all around
If I could make the world a small town
A small town
A small town
