Generate meaning
1
I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalk
2
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
3
There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry
4
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
5
They ware the little man
6
The little man
7
I go back now and the stores are all empty
8
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
9
Boarded up like they never existed
10
Or renovated and called historic districts
11
There goes the little man
12
There goes the little man
13
[Chorus]
14
Now the court square's just a set of streets
15
That the people go round but they seldom think
16
Bout the little man that built this town
17
Before the big money shut em down
18
And killed the little man
19
Oh the little man
20
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
21
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
22
The new stores came where you do it yourself
23
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
24
Forget the little man
25
Forget about that little man
26
He hung on there for a few more years
27
But he couldn't sell slurpees
28
And he wouldn't sell beer
29
Now the bank rents the station
30
To a down the road
31
And sell velvet Elvis and
32
Second-hand clothes
33
There goes little man
34
There goes another little man
35
[Chorus]
36
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
37
You can buy the world with just one trip
38
And save a penny 'cause it's jumbo size
39
They don't even realize
40
They're killin' the little man
41
Oh the little man
42
[Chorus]
43
It wasn't long when I was a child
44
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
45
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
46
Back before we'd all forgot about the little man
47
The little man
48
Long live the little man
49
God bless the little man
