In the tiny town where I come from

You grew up doing what your daddy does

And you don't ask questions, you do it just because

You don't climb too high or dream too much

With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck

You can wind up right back where your daddy was



This little bitty town, it ain't nothing new

We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to

Swallow your pride just to make your family proud

If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down

I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town

Yeah this one horse town



I'm an old married man at the age of 23

Got 2 little boys on the baseball team

And that might be their only ticket out

All they got is a worn out thing

And a daddy that could've gone all the way

But I hung my saddle up and I settled down



This little bitty town, oh it ain't nothing new

We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to

Swallow your pride just to make your family proud

If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down

I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town

Yeah this one horse town

Oh yeah



This little bitty town, oh yeah it ain't nothing new

We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to

Swallow your pride just to keep your family proud

If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down

I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town
