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
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

Who've been so great to me
For 25 years, thank you very much
