[Verse 1]
I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalks
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's Johnson's Hardware and Morgan's Jewelry
And the old Lee King's Apothecary
They were the little man, the little man
[Verse 2]
I go back now and the stores are empty
Except an 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
[Chorus]
Now the court square's just a set of streets
That people go 'round, but they seldom think
'Bout the little man that built this town
Before the big money shut 'em down and killed the little man
Oh, the little man
[Verse 3]
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
One cold rainy night, he fixed your flat
Then a new store came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget the little man, forget about that little man
I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalks
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's Johnson's Hardware and Morgan's Jewelry
And the old Lee King's Apothecary
They were the little man, the little man
[Verse 2]
I go back now and the stores are empty
Except an 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
[Chorus]
Now the court square's just a set of streets
That people go 'round, but they seldom think
'Bout the little man that built this town
Before the big money shut 'em down and killed the little man
Oh, the little man
[Verse 3]
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
One cold rainy night, he fixed your flat
Then a new store came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget the little man, forget about that little man
