The Little Man

Title: The Little Man Artist: Alan Jackson Transcribe by: John McDaniel capo - 1st fret I remember walkin' round the court square sidewalks Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want There's Johnson's Hardware and Morman's Jewelry And the old Lee Kings apothacary They were the little man The little man I go back now the stores are empty except and old coke sign dated 1950 Boarded up like they never existed or renovated and called historic districts There goes the little man there goes the little man Now the court square's just a set of streets that people go round but the seldom think bout' the little man that built this town before the big money shut um' down and killed the little man ah, the little man He pumped your gas and he'd clean your glass One cold rainy night he fixed your flat The new store came where you do it yourself You buy lotto ticket and food off the shelf forget the little man forget about that little man He hung on there for a few more years but he couldn't sell slurpies and he wouldn't sell beer Now the bank rents the station to a man down the road and they sell velvet Elvis and 2nd hand clothes there goes the little man there goes another little man Repeat Chorus: Now store's lined up in a concrete strip You buy the whole world in just one trip You save a penny cause it's jumbo size and they don't ever realize their killin' the little man ah, the little man Repeat Chorus: It wasn't long ago when I was a child an old black man came with his mule and his plow He broke the ground where we grew our garden back before we'd all forgotten about the little man the little man long live the little man God Bless the little man
