Our Town
Small Town Values: Unveiling the Heartfelt Stories in Tyler Farr's 'Our Town'
Lyrics
We played cops and robbers in the streets around our house
We reminisce about childhood, playing games like cops and robbers in the streets near our home.
It was fun and games back then but it ain't fun now here in our town
Those carefree times have changed, and the current situation in our town is no longer enjoyable.
Just a bunch of kids skipping church and acting so cool
As kids, we used to skip church and act cool, but now we are involved in more serious activities like lighting candles on Fridays.
But now we're lightning candles on a friday afternoon here in our town
Highlighting a shift from playful activities to more somber ones, like lighting candles on a Friday afternoon.
We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
We were brought up surrounded by religious symbols (crosses) and patriotic symbols (flags).
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats here in our town
During the pledge of allegiance, we show respect by taking off our hats in our town.
We say yes ma'am and no ma'am we love we don't hate
We emphasize politeness and love over hatred, saying "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" in our town.
Here in our town, here in our town
Reiterating the positive values and atmosphere in our town.
The only color we care about is that football jersey blue
We only care about the color of a football jersey, emphasizing the unity and importance of sports in our town.
So I don't know who the hell that is up there on the news that ain't our town
Expressing confusion and disbelief about something happening in the news that doesn't seem to belong to our town.
We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
Repetition of the upbringing surrounded by religious and patriotic symbols.
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats here in our town
Continuation of the pledge of allegiance tradition, emphasizing respect and patriotism.
We say yes ma'am and no ma'am we love we don't hate
Reaffirming politeness and love as values in our town, contrasting with the chaos in the outside world.
That world that's gonne crazy it don't have a place here in our town, here in our town
Stating that the chaotic world has no place in our town, reinforcing the sense of unity and order.
We're better than this tougher than tough
Asserting the strength and resilience of the community, being better and tougher than challenges.
We might get knocked down but we get back up yeah
Despite challenges, the community remains resilient, always getting back up after being knocked down.
We were raised in the shadows of crosses and flags
Recalling the upbringing surrounded by symbols of faith and patriotism.
When we pledge allegiance we take off our hats here in our town, our town
Reiteration of the tradition of showing respect during the pledge of allegiance in our town.
We say yes ma'am and no ma'am we love we don't hate
Emphasizing politeness and love, asserting that the chaotic world doesn't belong in our town.
That world that's gonne crazy it don't have a place here in our town, here in our town yeah
Reiterating that the tumultuous world has no place in our town, concluding with a sense of pride and belonging.
