little bitty

Nick Torres

Hello all, I’ve been doing FAWM, February Album Writing Month, so I haven’t been getting back to you with listens and comments, my apologies. Writing 14 songs in a month tends to limit you doing much else. I highly recommend it though.

Here is one about the perils or being buried in a phone screen.

Old Mrs. Higgins tripped over her poodle
Checkin’ the weather in a tourist town in France
Tommy O’Leary missed the evening school bus
Watchin’ prison inmates do a TikTok dance

Pastor Jim backed into his mailbox
Streamin’ Wednesday night’s evenin’ prayer
Sheriff Dan rolled right through a stop light
Watchin’ a cat try parkour on the stairs

Little bitty screen in your little bitty hand
Little bitty world I’ll never understand
Eyes down, walkin’ ’round this little bitty town
Missin’ little bitty miracles happenin’ all around

Linda McCarthy walked into a lamppost
When the quiz said she’d be a waffle iron
Bobby Ray tripped over a garden hose
Watchin’ two flat-earthers conspirin’

Darlene Price fell off the courthouse steps
Readin’ a secret tip for her eggnog
Mayor Clark drove straight through a pay parking gate
Watchin’ a man eating way too many hot-dogs

Little bitty screen in your little bitty hand
Little bitty world I’ll never understand
Eyes down, walkin’ ’round this little bitty town
Missin’ little bitty miracles happenin’ all around

I’d rather be sittin’ down at the fishin’ hole
Watchin’ fish jump and laugh at me and smile
Watchin’ fireflies blink on and off
like we got early Christmas in July

Little bitty screen in your little bitty hand
Little bitty world I’ll never understand
Eyes down, walkin’ ’round this little bitty town
Missin’ little bitty miracles happenin’ all around
