Getting closer to nature So many stars I can’t sleep Clean fresh air through the window Country quiet runs deep Schools don’t measure your value By the label on your sleeve Just a nod at the doorway You’re welcome to just breathe Living in a small town Yeah, that feels good to me Handshakes sealed, your word is steel That’s all the proof we need Neighbors you can lean on Like roots on an old oak tree Living in a small town Yeah, that feels good to me (oh it feels good) Tab at the little market “Pay me whenever you can” Homemade bread, hot tamales Passed from hand to hand Salves to heal what’s aching Fresh eggs, still warm in the pan Pies on the Sunday table Love baked into the pan Living in a small town Yeah, that feels good to me Handshakes sealed, your word is steel That’s all the proof we need Neighbors you can lean on Like roots on an old oak tree Living in a small town Yeah, that feels good to me Out here the sky feels bigger Out here my heart breathes free Feel of God is all around Prayers said every night Worshiping together Singing praises to our Lord in this small town I was chasing something Turns out it was right here Living in a small town Yeah, that feels good to me Handshakes sealed, your word is real That’s all the proof we need Neighbors you can lean on Like roots on an old oak tree Living in a small town Yeah, that feels good to me (oh it feels good) Living in a small town That’s where I’m meant to be
