Capo 3
Standard Tuning
In my hometown, population just a few thousand
All of them kids at the drive-in after Friday night s football game
That s the same place where mom and dad went on their first date
They had the same burger I just ate, man, some things never change
That s what made me who I am today, gave me a milion songs to play
And when the radio s on, I just don t understand
Chorus:
Because tractors ain t sexy and working is hard
For small town people like me
And the radio is full of the rich folks
Singing about places they ve never seen
And I ain t saying that they re lives ain t hard
I d love to hear about it sometime
But let them sing about their own life
And I ll sing about mine
I m not complaining, runnin my mouth like an old man
Talking about the world that s changing and how its given up on me
I m just saying down at Nicks on the weekend
The small town anthems that they re singin , don t sound like the what you see
When you talk about the Dairy Queen, pick up trucks and Springstein
They make the place I love sound like a bad cartoon
Chorus
Bridge:
If you want a song about
A place like my hometown
Take a weekend and come on down
It won t a long to see
Chorus
