In my hometown
Population just a few thousand
All of those kids at the drive in
After Friday nights football game
Thats the same place
Mom and dad went on their first date
Had the same burger I just ate
Man some things never change
Thats what made me who I am today
Gave me a million songs to play
When the radios on I just dont understand
Because tractors aint sexy,
And workin is hard,
For small town people like me
And the radios full of rich folks singin
About places theyve never seen
And I aint sayin their lifes aint hard
Id love to hear about it sometime,
Let em sing about their own life
And Ill sing about mine.
Im not complaining,
Running my mouth like an old man
Talking about a world thats changing
And how its given up on me
And Im just saying
Down at nicks on a weekend
Small town anthems theyre singin g
Dont sound like what you see
When you talk about the dairy queen
Pickup trucks and Springsteen
Make the place I love
Sound like a bad cartoon
Because tractors aint sexy,
And workin is hard,
For small town people like me
And the radios full of rich folks singin
About places theyve never seen
And I aint sayin their lifes aint hard
Id love to hear about it sometime,
Let em sing about their own life
And Ill sing about mine.
If you want a song about
A place like my hometown
Take a weekend to come on down
It wont take long to see
Because tractors aint sexy,
And working is hard,
For small town people like me
And the radios full of rich folks singing
About places theyve never seen
And I aint saying their lifes aint hard
Id love to hear about it sometime,
Let em sing about their own life
And Ill sing about mine.
They can sing about their own life
And ill sing about mine.
