One Horse Town
The day I turned eighteen I left my momma's house
I snuck out of the backdoor quiet as a mouse
I threw my bag in the back of the 65 Camino
I filled my tank up with gas and I headed towards El Reno
When my daddy woke up to get his sermon down
He found a note signed by me that said see you around
Well I swore I heard him scream as I crossed the county line
But I hit the clutch
Switched the gears
And drove threw them dogwood pines
Nothin's gonna slow me down (nothin's gonna slow me down)
I'm leavin' this one horse town
Don't send the sheriff to hunt me down
'Cause if I return I'll be buried in the ground
Dad preached Sunday mornin' about the roads we travel on
But I swear he'd have a heart attack if he knew where I had gone
I strayed off the straight and narrow onto an old dirt road
I met a man dressed in black who said he sold his soul
He was handsome as the devil parked outside the limit sign
He said go on ahead but be aware of what's inside
I took one look at that town then offered him a ride
I took shotgun and I let him drive
Nothin's gonna slow me down (nothin's gonna slow me down)
I'm leavin' this one horse town
Don't send the sheriff to hunt me down
'Cause if I return I'll be buried in the ground
I snuck out of the backdoor quiet as a mouse
I threw my bag in the back of the 65 Camino
I filled my tank up with gas and I headed towards El Reno
When my daddy woke up to get his sermon down
He found a note signed by me that said see you around
Well I swore I heard him scream as I crossed the county line
But I hit the clutch
Switched the gears
And drove threw them dogwood pines
Nothin's gonna slow me down (nothin's gonna slow me down)
I'm leavin' this one horse town
Don't send the sheriff to hunt me down
'Cause if I return I'll be buried in the ground
Dad preached Sunday mornin' about the roads we travel on
But I swear he'd have a heart attack if he knew where I had gone
I strayed off the straight and narrow onto an old dirt road
I met a man dressed in black who said he sold his soul
He was handsome as the devil parked outside the limit sign
He said go on ahead but be aware of what's inside
I took one look at that town then offered him a ride
I took shotgun and I let him drive
Nothin's gonna slow me down (nothin's gonna slow me down)
I'm leavin' this one horse town
Don't send the sheriff to hunt me down
'Cause if I return I'll be buried in the ground
