Small Town King

I've been stuck in this one-bar town

Where the river's filled with shopping carts

Blowing leaves to save a dime

But the price to leave is just too sharp

So I'm still here

My school friends ain't around

They are big living in their brand-new cars

Got my head above this credit drown

While I'm wearing out my dad's guitar

Oh, I'm still here

Yeah, I'm still here

I can see the lights on the horizon

The city glows in the colors of the night

Like a fantasy without the fear of trying

So don't you mess around

I will not back down

I'm the king of this small town

Thought it was better to dream than to

Live a life of hollow days

Performing out in my backyard

To the dying dog and family friends

Yeah, I'm still here

Oh, I'm still here

Started working in the bar where it's

Only heaving when it rains

Fell in love while playing cards she is

Crazy cool and twice my age

Oh, I'm still here

Yeah, I'm still here

I can see the lights on the horizon

The city glows in the colors of the night

Like a fantasy without the fear of trying

So don't you mess around

I will not back down

I'm the king of this small town

There's nothing to heal when I'm home

Nothing to fix if it ain't broke

There's nobody here that I don't know

So why would I leave what I call home

There's nothing to heal when I'm home

Nothing to fix if it ain't broke

There's nobody here that I don't know

So why would I leave what I call home
