lyrics

Every morning I get up, and drive into town.
Ain't nothing better than driving with your windows down.
I love it here, I know everyone.
You can't have a secret, somebody gonna tell someone.

If ya get bored go down to the dairy bar.
They have the best peanut butter milkshakes around here by far.
On Labor Day don't make any plans.
Come to the park for a show and stick around for the street dance.

CHORUS
Just little joys of living in a small town.
Sweet memories i often think about.
Like when little brother turned the Friday lights off.
Said someone helped him up and that it wasn't his fault.

Can't really brag about being homecoming queen.
When your graduating class had about 33.
Look off the bluff at night to see the city stars.
Where BB Comer Bridge brings me home to my heart.

CHORUS
Just little joys of living in a small town.
Sweet memories i often think about.
like the walk to RB's store to get a coke.
That place may be gone but RB he is home.

It's hard to say good bye.
When you've lived here all your life.
Time to move on.
I may be in Tennessee but Alabama is home.

When I moved away I thought love would find me.
But God had been writing a different story.
And I fought him hard but didn't have a choice.
I gave my heart away to a Sand Mountain boy.

Just little joys of living in a small town.
Sweet memories I often think about.
Like that Monday when Aunt became my first name.
And the first time I laid eyes on Ali's face.

It's a sweet life, but I love living that way.
