MERRITT SONG

I originally called this song “County Music Capital”, but when people heard it, it just became known as the "Merritt Song." It was adopted as the official song of this little place I live in, and I am quite proud of that.

We’re a little place called Merritt
And we stand quite tall and proud
Biggest for our size
And we’re the loudest in the crowd
And there’s a sense of community
Lined our streets with stars
Put ourselves on the map
And we’re proud to call it ours

Chorus

And when you come and visit us
It’s like playing in a family band
We’re the Country Music Capital
Of this entire land

Now music in the western air
Well it carries far and wide
Don’t feel like a stranger
Just come on inside
And there’s a spirit in this town
Shows right from the start
It’s not your population
It’s the size of your heart

Chorus

We’re a little place called Merritt
And we stand quite tall and proud
Biggest for our size
And we’re the loudest in the crowd
And we’ll set a place for you
At the table every night
Don’t even call ahead
Just show up for a bite

Chorus
