In the [Dm]tiny town where [F]I come from
You [C]grew up doing what your [G]daddy does
And you [Dm]don't ask questions, you [F]do it just because [C][C/F][C]
You don't [Dm]climb too high or [F]dream too much
With a [C]whole lot of work and a [G]little bit of luck
You can [Dm]wind up right back [F]where your daddy was [C][C/F][C]
This little bitty [Am]town, it ain't nothing [F]new[Fsus2] [F]
We all stick a[C]round 'cause they all tell us [G]to [G#7]
Swallow your [Am]pride just to make your family [C]proud[C/F] [C]
If I didn't [G]think that it would shut the whole place [F]dow[Fsus2]n [F]
I'd [F]ride my pony right [G]out of this one horse [Am]town
Yeah this one horse [C]town [C/F][C]
I'm an [Dm]old married man at the a[F]ge of 23
Got [C]2 little boys on the bas[G]eball team
And [Dm]that might be their [F]only ticket out [C][C/F][C]
[Dm]All they got is a [F]worn out name
And a d[C]addy that could've gone [G]all the way
But I [Dm]hung my saddle [F]up and I settled down [C][C/F][C]
This little bitty [Am]town, it ain't nothing [F]new[Fsus2] [F]
We all stick a[C]round 'cause they all tell us [G]to [G#7]
Swallow your [Am]pride just to make your family [C]proud[C/F] [C]
If I didn't [G]think that it would shut the whole place [F]dow[Fsus2]n [F]
I'd [F]ride my pony right [G]out of this one horse [Am]town
Yeah this one horse [C]town [C/F][C]
