Some us still live in the small town, the one where we were raised

While others have moved on to places, where others would be amazed

Some of us grew up on the city streets of a big city full of people on the go

While others played on a Main Street with nothing special to really show

I grew up in that little town where everyone knew your name

Where every Saturday the kids all gathered and did just the same

We rode our bikes downtown to the soda fountain, that’s no longer there

And paid a nickel at the State Theater for popcorn, that we had to share

I will always remember the site of new bikes at the Western Auto on display

And the feeling of getting a new gun and holster with caps ready to play

One day my wife and I chose to move back to that little town that we call home

To raise our daughter in a place where we felt she was safe to get out and roam

Though things have changed in this small town as they always do over time

I still see these stores in my mind Harper’s, Ferran’s, Acie’s and Vincent’s Five and Dime

From My World to Yours,

Bob Baker
