In my hometown
Population just a few thousand
All of them kids at the drive-in
After Friday nights football game
Thatâs the same place
Where mom and dad went on their first date
Had the same burger I just ate
Man, some things never change
Thatâs what made me who I am today
Gave me a million songs to play
And when the radioâs on I just donât understand
Because tractors ainât sexy and workinâ is hard
For small town people like me
And the radioâs full of rich folks singinâ
âBout places theyâve never seen
Now I ainât saying that their lives ainât hard,
Iâd love to hear about it sometime
But let them sing about their own life
And Iâll sing about mine
Iâm not complaining
Running my mouth like an old man
Talking âbout a world thatâs changing
And how itâs given up on me
Iâm just saying down at Nickâs on the weekend
The small town anthems theyâre singing
Donât sound like what you see
When you talk about the dairy queen,
Pick up trucks and Springsteen
Make the place I love sound like a bad cartoon
Because tractors ainât sexy and workinâ is hard
For small town people like me
And the radioâs full of rich folks singing
âBout the places theyâve never seen
Now I ainât saying that their lives ainât hard,
Iâd love to hear about it sometime
But let them sing about their own life
And Iâll sing about mine
And if you want a song about
A place like my hometown
Take a weekend and come on down
It wonât take long to see
âCause tractors ainât sexy and workinâ is hard
For small town people like me
And the radioâs full of rich folks singing
âBout places theyâve never seen
Now I ainât saying that their lives ainât hard,
Iâd love to hear about it sometime
But let them sing about their own life
And Iâll sing about mine
They can sing about their own life,
Iâll sing about mine
