2000 PEOPLE WAS ALL
In my small hometown
you couldn’t buy a hit record
or a hardback book
or a Wilson baseball glove
there was no McDonald’s but
you could buy a huge can of Charles Chips
at the gas station
what we did have was a library
in a white house like you’d imagine
a small town might have.
My town had only 500 people. Pretty much the same. Picked up that can of Charles Chips at the gas station after church every Sunday. I’d be fatter, but had to split it with 4 siblings. I bought a baseball glove at the hardware store, though.
