about

Every one of us in the seven generations I know of my father's father's line left home and started anew someplace else. My little village in Virginia is home to me in a way no place has ever quite been. A tribute to our ghosts and our perils too.

lyrics

Words & music ©2019 Catalooch Music, BMI

We close our road, on the 4th of July, for the kids to ride by
with streamers on their bikes, in red and blue and white, let the judges decide
bring a dish to share, and your favorite folding chair, try to stay cool,
we read the famous words, just like we've heard, since we were kids in school
in my little town

Renamed for Honest Abe, somehow it became, where I put roots down
graveyard stones, hide more than bones, in the red clay ground
these sunken gravel roads, wind back in time and slowly disappear
the last dairy farm, keeps holding on, another year
in my little town

Chorus:
When the fire breaks out, when the roof caves in
when the snow’s piled high, times are worst they've been, 
or progress of the present brings the future crashing down
stand up with each other here in our little town
try not to blink and miss, our little town

The holiday lights, cold winter nights, herald angels sing
from door to door, just like the year before, firelight caroling
we pray that it lasts, cherishing our past before it's gone
where neighbors still wave, stories we still save to pass on down
in my little town

a world of change swirls around my little town
