You Got a Small Town

I take a back 40 story in a corner of a map-dot

Two-pump Texaco, pot-hole blacktop

Tractor in a pasture', goin' corn-row slow

Add it all up, then you know

'Cause every stop sign's marked with a shotgun

We pray for rain, man, when we ain't got none

Got a train trestle name over a two-lane main

Population sign don't ever change

Every Friday night light, fight song, home team proud

Swear you'll get out, but it's where they'll lay you down

Wrap it all up in a county line that goes all the way around

And you got a small town

See you at the DQ at the back parkin' lot

Paper bag on a cold can so you don't get caught

Where you find a girl and change her world and never let her go

If this ain't Heaven, then it's pretty close

'Cause every stop sign's marked with a shotgun

We pray for rain, man, when we ain't got none

Got a train trestle name over a two-lane main

Population sign don't ever change

Every Friday night light, fight song, home team proud

Swear you'll get out, but it's where they'll lay you down

Wrap it all up in a county line that goes all the way around

You got a small town, yeah, yeah

You got a small town

There's more trucks than cars

One church, two bars

Ain't no doubt where you are

'Cause every stop sign's marked with a shotgun

We pray for rain when we ain't got none

Got a train trestle name over a two-lane main

Population sign don't ever change

Every Friday night light, fight song, home team proud

Swear you'll get out, but it's where they'll lay you down

Wrap it all up in a county line that goes all the way around

You got a small town, yeah, yeah

You got a small town
