Small Town King

Every map dot has a few

Good ol' boys keepin' it old school

Fight somebody at the drop of a hat

Help somebody, give the shirt off his back

And love somebody like she oughta be loved

Throws a little thanks to the man above

For all he's got, it ain't a lot, but it's enough

He's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider

Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter

Chevy square body, old Skoal ring

Simple man on an old six-string

Friday night, John 3:16

Backroad baptized just like me

He's holdin' it down, he earned that ground

He's a small-town, small-town king

He holds court in a cornfield

And he holds court on a bar stool

He paints every damn shade of red

But when she smiles just right, he plays it cool

'Cause he's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider

Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter

Chevy square body, old Skoal ring

Simple man on an old six-string

Friday night, John 3:16

Backroad baptized just like me

He's holdin' it down, he earned that ground

He's a small-town, small-town king

Yeah

Fight somebody at the drop of a hat

Help somebody, give the shirt off his back

Love somebody like she oughta be loved

Throws a little thanks to the man above

Not the first and won't be the last

And he knows he'll never leave

Even when he's six feet under the grass

He'll still be the small-town king

Mm, the small-town king

Yeah, yeah

He's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider

Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter

Chevy square body, old Skoal ring

Simple man on an old six-string

Friday night, John 3:16
