Water Tower Town
Life's Harmony in a Water Tower Town
Lyrics
In a water tower town, everybody waves
In a small town with a water tower, everyone greets each other.
Church doors are the only thing
The church is the only place open on Sundays.
That's open on Sundays
Information spreads quickly, but progress is slow.
Word travels fast, wheels turn slow
Hard work and a virtuous lifestyle are the community norms.
Yeah workin' hard and livin' right
Working hard and living right are the primary values.
Is the only life we know
Describing the simple and traditional life of the community.
Friday night football is king
High school football is a significant event on Friday nights.
Sweet tea goes good with anything
Sweet tea is a popular drink, complementing any meal.
Fireflies come out when the sun goes down
Fireflies appear in the evening, adding to the town's charm.
Nobody eats till you say Amen
Traditional grace before meals is a common practice.
And everybody knows your mama's name
Community members are closely connected, knowing each other's families.
You can see who loves who from miles around
Emphasizing the close-knit nature of relationships in the town.
In a water tower town
Reiterating the setting of the song in a water tower town.
Well your friends a friend
Trust and loyalty are important among friends.
And your words your word
Your word is your bond.
And our pick-up trucks
Pick-up trucks are tools for work, not just for show.
They ain't for lookers they're made for work
Highlighting the practical use of vehicles in the community.
Corn grows high, crime stays low
Low crime rates and thriving agriculture characterize the town.
There's little towns everywhere where everybody knows
Similar towns share these values and close connections.
Friday night football is king
Friday night football is a recurring event in these communities.
Sweet tea goes good with anything
Emphasizing the popularity of sweet tea in the area.
And the girls come out
Girls are more active and visible in the evening.
When the sun goes down
Describing the charm of the town during sunset.
Nobody eats till you say Amen
Traditional grace before meals is a common practice.
And everybody knows your mama's name
Community members know each other's families intimately.
You can see who loves who from miles around
Reiterating the theme of close relationships in the town.
In a water tower town
Yeah, Friday night football is king
Emphasizing the simplicity and peace of the town.
Sweet tea goes good with anything
Reiterating the popularity of sweet tea in the area.
Peace and quiet makes such a beautiful sound
Peace and quiet are cherished in the town.
Nobody eats till you say Amen,
Traditional grace before meals is a common practice.
And everybody knows your mama's name
Community members are closely connected, knowing each other's families.
You can see who loves who from miles around
Reiterating the theme of close relationships in the town.
In a water tower town
