I'll Sing About Mine

In my hometown Population just a few thousand All of them kids at the drive-in After Friday nights football game That's the same place Where mom and dad went on their first date Had the same burger I just ate Man, some things never change That's what made me who I am today Gave me a million songs to play And when the radio's on I just don't understand Because tractors ain't sexy and workin' is hard For small town people like me And the radio's full of rich folks singin' 'Bout places they've never seen Now I ain't saying that their lives ain't hard, I'd love to hear about it sometime But let them sing about their own life And I'll sing about mine I'm not complaining Running my mouth like an old man Talking 'bout a world that's changing And how it's given up on me I'm just saying down at Nick's on the weekend The small town anthems they're singing Don't sound like what you see When you talk about the dairy queen, Pick up trucks and Springsteen Make the place I love sound like a bad cartoon Because tractors ain't sexy and workin' is hard For small town people like me And the radio's full of rich folks singing 'Bout the places they've never seen Now I ain't saying that their lives ain't hard, I'd love to hear about it sometime But let them sing about their own life And I'll sing about mine And if you want a song about A place like my hometown Take a weekend and come on down It won't take long to see 'Cause tractors ain't sexy and workin' is hard For small town people like me And the radio's full of rich folks singing 'Bout places they've never seen Now I ain't saying that their lives ain't hard, I'd love to hear about it sometime But let them sing about their own life And I'll sing about mine They can sing about their own life, I'll sing about mine
