Guardians of Atlanta 7
(Small-Town Romance)
As Phillip Keller’s corvette headed back to 400,
And the Joneses began dinner and sat there and wondered-
Why Phillip Keller wanted their land so badly,
A different sports car pulled up and Cyrus squealed gladly.
The black Trans-Am with so much love and work put inside it,
Ferried her favorite person in the world. Oh man, was she excited!
Cyrus: “I’m sorry Mom and Dad, I forgot,
Connor wanted to take me out!”
Emily: “No problem, sweetie. See you soon!”
Cyrus: “Thanks!” Cyrus said with a shout.
She ran out
Without a single doubt.
This is what love songs are really singinâ âbout.
Thereâs never any hate, and never any doubt.
This is the person that youâre meant for. Itâs not by chance.
Itâs nothing but a small, small-town romance.
Years ago when Cyrus was young A boy came to her Sunday school class.
He stole her headband to get her attention.
He said âSorryâ and they became friends fast.
Love stories like this come only in small towns
Where people don’t leave each other, they stick around.
And even one day their parents knew theyâd find
both of them married; they were that entwined.
This is what love songs really mean at the heart.
It begins the second you meet, right from the very start.
Youâre best friends forever, even at first glance.
Itâs nothing but a small, small-town romance.
So that night when Connor came in his Trans Am
He picked up Cyrus and drove somewhere grand.
He planned on taking her to Stone Mountain;
But a gas leak kept all of that from happeninâ.
So instead he drove to a much smaller place,
A little neighborhood that survived by Godâs grace.
A cul-de-sac on top of a large mound:
And you could see all of Atlanta from on top lookinâ down.
They had a picnic right there with fried chicken and sweet tea,
But then all of a sudden Connor said: âCyrus, will you marry me?â
Even down the road, when youâre talkinâ âbout forever
You really canât remember a time, you were never together.
So itâs really not hard, to maintain that stance.
Itâs nothing but a small, smalltown romance.
