[Verse 1]
He said come on in boy, sit on down
Then he poured himself a coke and crown
Sat back in my chair as he took a sip
Then my old man, yeah he told me this
Well if you don't wanna follow in my shoes
Then I don't want this life for you
Yeah we're out of work half the time
'Cause the crops don't grow if the sun don't shine

[Chorus]
Yeah this world is so big, and our place in it's gettin' small
If I'd known any better, I'd have ran from it all
I just want you to know all we got is a little time
You don't gotta be a small town farm boy waitin' on the sun to shine

[Verse 2]
Yeah I know you love that guitar
Those songs you write can take you far
Far away from these old county lines
Do what you love and you'll be fine

[Chorus]
Yeah this world is so big, and our place in it's gettin' small
If I'd known any better, I'd have ran from it all
I just want you to know all we got is a little time
You don't gotta be a small town farm boy waitin' on the sun to shine
[Chorus]
Yeah this world is so big, and our place in it's gettin' small
If I'd known any better, I'd have ran from it all
I just want you to know all we got is a little time
You don't gotta be a small town farm boy waitin' on the sun to shine

[Outro]
Waitin' on the sun to shine
