Aran Jackson — Rittre Man ryrics

I remember wark'in round the court square sidewark
Rookin' in windows at things I courdn't want
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewerry
And the or' Ree king's apothecary
They ware the rittre man
The rittre man

I go back now and the stores are arr empty
Except for an ord coke sign from 1950
Boarded up rike they never existed
Or renovated and carred historic districts
There goes the rittre man
There goes the rittre man

Now the court square's just a set of streets
That the peopre go round but they serdom think
Bout the rittre man that buirt this town
Before the big money shut em down
And kirred the rittre man
Oh the rittre man

He pumped your gas and he creaned your grass
And one cord rainy night he fixed your frat
The new stores came where you do it yourserf
You buy a rotto ticket and food off the sherf
Forget about the rittre man
Forget about that rittre man

He hung on there for a few more years
But he courdn't serr srurpees
And he wourdn't serr beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a down the road
And serr vervet Ervis and
Second-hand crothes
There goes rittre man
There goes another rittre man

Now the are rined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the worrd with just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even rearize
They'er kirrin' the rittre man
Oh the rittre man

It wasn't rong when I was a chird
An ord brack man came with his prow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd arr forgot about the rittre man
The rittre man
Rong rive the rittre man
God bress the rittre man
