Lyrics
In a water tower town, everybody waves
Church doors are the only thing that’s open on Sundays
Word travels fast, wheels turn slow
Yeah workin’ hard and livin’ right is the only life we know
Friday night football games, sweet tea goes good with anything
Fireflies come out when the sun goes down
Nobody eats till you say Amen, and everybody knows your mama’s name
You can see who loves who from miles around, in a water tower town
Well your friends a friend, and your words your word
And our pick up trucks, they ain’t for lookers they’re made for workers
Corn grows high, crime stays low
There’s little towns everywhere where everybody knows
Friday night football games, sweet tea goes good with anything
And the girls come out, when the sun goes down
Nobody eats till you say Amen, and everybody knows your mama’s name
You can see who loves who from miles around, in a water tower town
Friday night football games, sweet tea goes good with anything
Two feet quiet makes such a beautiful sound
Nobody eats till you say Amen, and everybody knows your mama’s name
You can see who loves who from miles around, in a water tower town
Yeeeaahh in a water tower town
