lyrics

Well, everybody’s talking ‘bout the big city
Well, yeah, they pack them together with the concrete, nitty-gritty
Well, we put our thoughts together in an itty bitty ditty
And it’s for you, whether you’re a council, or a board, or a committee

This is a small town, and this town is in our hands
When you say “beach” we think of children playin’ in the sand
We want kids at the park, not a place to park your van
We want a landmark, and not a mark upon the land

We love this town, we love this place
This is our home, and you’re never going to take it away

Maybe to you we’re just a nuisance, maybe we’re only a band
Maybe we’re the hippies and rebels, either way we’re taking a stand
If it’s only money that you want, well, we’ll be damned
If you trade our home and heritage for some money in your hand

We love this town, we love this place
We love our home, and you’re never going to take it away

We love this town (we love this town), we love this place (we love this place)
We love our home (we love our home), it has a name (it has a name)
Sturgeon Bay, we love this place
We love this town, and you’re never going to take it away

We love this town, and you’re never going to take it away
