I'll Sing About Mine

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