One Horse Town
I was talking with my friend just the other night
We was laughing and smoking, Lord, feeling alright
We got to talking about fortune and fame
Well he's someone you've seen, I think you'd know his name
He said: "Life ain't easy as it seems
When they put you on the cover of the glossy magazines
Everybody knows your business, at least they think they do
And everybody wants a little piece of you
To me this whole world 'round
Is just another one horse town
Don't get me wrong, life has been good to me
I've got my share of good friends, my share of luxuries
But it's hard to keep track of all the people I meet
And everybody knows me on every back street
But that's the price that we pay for living life this way
Sometimes I wish that I could end all the games that we play
Kick the dust off my travelling shoes, but any road that I choose
Would only lead me right back to these small town blues
That's why the whole world 'round
Is just another one horse town
When the day comes and my time is through
Hope I've done all the things I was put here to do
Hope folks remember me for things I've done and said
And I won't be just another pretty picture in their heads
And when I reach that last go 'round
And I hear that mighty trumpet sound
Angels will come sailing down
And lightly touch down on the ground
Yes they will sail on down
And lift me out of this one horse town
Sail on down
And lift me out of this one horse town"
We was laughing and smoking, Lord, feeling alright
We got to talking about fortune and fame
Well he's someone you've seen, I think you'd know his name
He said: "Life ain't easy as it seems
When they put you on the cover of the glossy magazines
Everybody knows your business, at least they think they do
And everybody wants a little piece of you
To me this whole world 'round
Is just another one horse town
Don't get me wrong, life has been good to me
I've got my share of good friends, my share of luxuries
But it's hard to keep track of all the people I meet
And everybody knows me on every back street
But that's the price that we pay for living life this way
Sometimes I wish that I could end all the games that we play
Kick the dust off my travelling shoes, but any road that I choose
Would only lead me right back to these small town blues
That's why the whole world 'round
Is just another one horse town
When the day comes and my time is through
Hope I've done all the things I was put here to do
Hope folks remember me for things I've done and said
And I won't be just another pretty picture in their heads
And when I reach that last go 'round
And I hear that mighty trumpet sound
Angels will come sailing down
And lightly touch down on the ground
Yes they will sail on down
And lift me out of this one horse town
Sail on down
And lift me out of this one horse town"
