[Instrumental Intro] [Telecaster introduces the signature melody. Fiddle answers as piano and the rhythm section establish a bright country two-step.] [Verse 1] Mrs. Davis waved us over By the market yesterday; You were loading up her groceries Before she had a word to say. Then you kissed her on the forehead, Said, “There’s nothing that you owe.” I was standing there remembering Why I fell for you long ago. [Chorus] You put the heart in this town, And the sunshine in my day; You can turn a stranger into family With the simple things you say. People leave a little lighter Every time you come around; And I get to call you darling— You put the heart in this town. [Instrumental Turnaround] [Piano rolls into a short pedal steel answer.] [Verse 2] Friday at the schoolhouse supper, You were pouring lemonade; I was hauling folding tables, Watching all the friends you’ve made. When we stacked the final table, You came dancing through the room; Said, “You ready to go home, boy?” I said, “Long as it’s with you.” [Chorus] You put the heart in this town, And the sunshine in my day; You can turn a stranger into family With the simple things you say. People leave a little lighter Every time you come around; And I get to call you darling— You put the heart in this town. [Instrumental Interlude] [Eight-bar fiddle and Telecaster exchange. Piano and pedal steel add lively answering fills.] [Bridge] [Drums soften; acoustic guitar and piano support the vocal.] When the giving leaves you weary, I’ll be waiting by the door; You can lean on me a little— That’s what these two arms are for. [Final Chorus] [Full band returns with strong, close country harmonies.] You put the heart in this town, And the sunshine in my day; You can turn a stranger into family With the simple things you say. People leave a little lighter Every time you come around; And I get to call you darling— You put the heart in this town. [Outro] And I get to call you darling… You put the heart in this town.
