There's a little town on the river It's quiet and it's still It's a place time doesn't seem to touch Nestled in the hills And in the fall those hills are on fire With the color of the leaves And the river runs beneath them Shaded by the trees In that little town on the river The people that you meet Will say hello and wave a hand When you pass em on the street And no one has a lot But they smile anyway Cuz riches here are family And hometown football games And memories take me back To a boy who used to play In the woods down by the creek And it seems so far away But no matter what I do And no matter where I go That little town on the river Will always be my home That little town on the river It keeps callin me back The future took me somewhere else But it'll always hold my past And there's comfort in consistency It always stays the same And that little town on the river She still knows my name And memories take me back To a boy who used to play In the woods down by the creek And it seems so far away But no matter what I do And no matter where I go That little town on the river Will always be my home That little town on the river a spec on a map somewhere But when I need to find myself I always end up there It may not look like much And there's nothing much to see But that little town on the river Still means the world to me
