Small Town

I was born in a small town And lived in a small town Probably die in a small town Oh, those small communities All my friends are so small town My parents live in the same small town My job is so small town Provides little opportunity Educated in a small town Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town Used to daydream in that small town Another boring romantic, that's me But I've seen it all in this small town Had myself a ball in this small town My wife was 13 years old when I wrote this song Now she's small town, just like me No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from Cannot forget the people who love me I can be myself here in this small town And people let me be just what I want to be Got nothing against a big town Man, I'm still hayseed enough to say "Look who's in the big town" But my bed is in a small town Oh, and that's good enough for me Well I was born in a small town And I can breathe in a small town Probably die in this small town Oh, that's probably where they'll bury me I just want to say that Thanks for coming out here to hear us play on the street today We've been doing this for about a week and a half now And this is the biggest turnout we've had So thank you very much I also want to say that this is not a concert I'm just playing on the street So if you can't hear, I'm sorry But we didn't bring a big PA system Because we didn't want it to be a concert I'm not selling nothing Just so you know what's happening here I'm not selling nothing I ain't promoting nothing I'm just here, back here giving to the people Who've been so great to me For 25 years, thank you very much
