Small Town Halloween

Pumpkins glowing on every porch

Hay bales stacked by the general store

The moon’s so big

It’s stealing the sky

Kids in capes run screaming by

Small town Halloween

Where the shadows dance

Ghosts in the street and a paper bag chance

Laughter’s the spell

And the night’s the scene

Nothing’s quite like a small town Halloween

Cornfield whispers in the chilly breeze

Scarecrow smiles

Standing at ease

The old dog barks at a witch on a bike

Skeletons waltz in the pale porch light

Apple cider spills on the gravel road

Candy wrappers mark the stories told

Small town Halloween

Where the shadows dance

Ghosts in the street and a paper bag chance

Laughter’s the spell

And the night’s the scene

Nothing’s quite like a small town Halloween

Lanterns flicker like stars on the ground

Every face painted

No one’s found

The church bell rings

It’s a spooky chime

Telling us all it’s mischief time
