[Chorus]
F
This a real small town
F
Full of real fine folks
F
Who fell on real hard times
C
When the boom went broke
A# F
And they work real hard
A# F
And they pray real loud
A# F
'Cause there's a real big heart
C F
In this real small town
[Verse 1]
Dm
The cost of living
A# F
It may shift just like sand
A# F
But on my grandfather's land
C
It's been steady as his hand
Dm
I used to hold when
A# F
We'd go out and check the cows
A# F
And that's where he taught me how
C
To make my living from the ground
Gm A#
And I don't intend to let him down
[Chorus]
F
This a real small town
A# F
Full of real fine folks
A# F
Who fell on real hard times
Dm C
When the boom went broke
A# F
And they work real hard
A# F
And they pray real loud
A# F
'Cause there's a real big heart
C F
In this real small town
[Verse 2]
Dm
Every Sunday
A# F
I start the week off gettin' right
A# F
Get direction for my life
C
At the downtown church of Christ
F Dm
Next to the courthouse
A# F
Where they decorate the grass
A# F
With fifty-seven flags
C F
For the lives we won't get back
Gm A#
And I don't intend to forget the past
[Chorus]
F
This a real small town
A# F
Full of real fine folks
A# F
Who fell on real hard times

When the boom went broke
A# F
And they work real hard
A# F
And they pray real loud
A# F
'Cause there's a real big heart
C F
In this real small town
[Bridge]
Dm F
I couldn't paint a picture of this place
C
In my younger days
Gm A# Gm
Oh, how times change
[Chorus]
F
This a real small town
A# F
Full of real fine folks
A# F
Who fell on real hard times
Dm C
When the boom went broke
A# F
And they work real hard

And they pray real loud

'Cause there's a real big heart

In this real small town
[Outro]

'Cause there's a real big heart
