I'll Sing About Mine

In my home town

population 25, 000

all of them here at the drive in

after friday night's football game

that's the same place

that mom and dad went for their first date

they had the same burger I just ate

yeah some things never change

and that's made me who I am today

gave me a million songs to play

when the radio's on

I just don't understand

because tractors aint sexy

and workin is hard

for small town people like me

and the radio's full of rich folks singing

bout places they've never seen

no, I aint sayin their lives aint hard

I'd love to hear about it sometime

let em sing about their own life

and I'll sing about mine

I'm not complaining

runnin my mouth like an old man

talkin bout a world that's changin

and how it's given up on me

well I'm just sayin

that down at nicks on the weekend

the small town anthems their singin

dont sound like what you see

but 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 radio's full of rich folks singin

bout the places they've never seen

now I aint sayin their lives aint hard

I'd love to hear about it sometime

let em sing about their own lives

and I'll sing about mine

and if you wanna song about

a place like my home town

take a weekend and come on down

it wont take long to see

that tractors aint sexy

and workin is hard

for small town people like me

and the radio's full of these rich folks singin

bout the places they've never seen

now I aint sayin their lives aint hard

I'd love to hear about it sometime

let em sing about their own lives

and I'll sing about mine

they can sing about their own lives,

I'll sing about mine
