GCG
In my hometown, population just a few thousand
EmCG
All of them kids at the drive-in after Friday night's football game
GCG
That's the same place where mom and dad went on their first date
EmCG
They had the same burger I just ate, man, some things never change
DG
That's what made me who I am today, gave me a milion songs to play
EmA A4 A
And when the radio's on, I just don't understand
Chorus:
CG
Because tractors ain't sexy and working is hard
DEm
For small town people like me
CG
And the radio is full of the rich folks
DEm
Singing about places they've never seen
AmG
And I ain't saying that they're lives ain't hard
DA7
I'd love to hear about it sometime
CD
But let them sing about their own life
G
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
ChorusBridge:
Em
If you want a song about
AmA place like my hometown
C
Take a weekend and come on down
D
It won't a long to see
