In the tiny town

where I come from

You grew up doing

what your daddy done

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 name

And a Daddy

that could've gone all the way

But I hang my saddle up

and I settled down

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

Oh yeah

This little bitty town

oh yeah it ain't nothing new

We all stick around

'cause they all tell us too

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
