1. Read the lyrics to the song 'My Small Town':
My hometown is a small place
you know everyone, you know every face
we play in the barn on sunny days
the simple life is okay
when the sun goes down, the day is done
we have to wait the next day for fun
it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop
and the stores close early so we hurry to shop
the busses run every other hour
mom's in the garden planting some flowers
dad is at work, there until 5
the nearest store is such a long drive
I love the simple life, its a piece of cake
happy days are swimming in a lake
my hometown is small and relaxing
so stop on by if you're ever passing
