Lyrics:

Double-dip melting, there on the sidewalk
Nice little houses all in a row
The time goes by with a back-bench small talk
There's no rush, everything's real close
Hey, I'll see you later down at regular Joe's
Oh, in a great old American town
Everybody knows your first name
Children play and make happy sounds
Where a handshake and a contract are just the same
Oh, and you live by the sun and you can still smell the rain
A hound dog barks at a passing train
And the world slows down
In a great old American town

Football hero, driving with the top down
Finds that girl with the big red hair
The country music making their hearts pound
He's taking her down to the county fair
There's cotton candy and love in the air
Oh, in a great old American town
Everybody knows your first name
Children play and make happy sounds
Where a handshake and a contract are just the same
Oh, and you live by the sun and you can still smell the rain
A hound dog barks at a passing train
And the world slows down
In a great old American town
There's a statue on a green hillside
It says "In memory of those who died"
So we could stand here where Old Glory waves
On Sunday morning, we still pray
Here in the heart of the USA
Oh, in a great old American town
Everybody knows your first name
Children play and make happy sounds
Where a handshake and a contract are just the same
Oh, and you live by the sun and you can still smell the rain
A hound dog barks at a passing train
And the world slows down
In a great old American
Great old American town
Everybody knows your first name
Children play and make happy sounds
Where a handshake and a contract are just the same
Oh, and you live by the sun and you can still smell the rain
A hound dog barks at a passing train
And the world slows down
