[Verse 1]
On the chain link in the backyard
Hit the home run
Who's gonna go get it?
Daddy's Chevrolet on the tailpine
Creepin' upsides
Won't ever forget it
On the screws of a screen door
Tina on the school board
If I had to paint the place I grew up
I think I color it rust

[Chorus]
Yeah, we got a blue sky, black top and some fields of gold
White cotton poppin' up where the green grass grows
This red-light town wouldn't shine like it does
Yeah, if it didn't have a little rust
Up and down that water tower
Rust wrapped around that barbed wire
We don't need no paint trying to cover it up
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of rust

[Verse 2]
It was only whole nails, [?]
Number 700, bottom of the tackle box
Auburn hair falling down in a flat bed
God even put it in a sunset
[Chorus]
We got a blue sky, black top and some fields of gold
White cotton poppin' up where the green grass grows
This red-light town wouldn't shine like it does
Yeah, if it didn't have a little rust
Up and down that water tower
Rust wrapped around that barbed wire
We don't need no paint trying to cover it up
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of rust

[Bridge]
Nothing round, Ist as new forever
Time goes by
So does the weather
The best things I know get a little better with rust

[Chorus]
Yeah, we got a blue sky, black top and some fields of gold
White cotton poppin' up where the green grass grows
This red-light town wouldn't shine like it does
Yeah, if it didn't have a little rust
Up and down that water tower
Rust wrapped around that barbed wire
And we don't need no paint trying to cover it up
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of rust
[Outro]
Up on that Massey Tractor
Rust, yeah, man on the [?] don't matter
That welcome sign is something I love
Yeah, it's the color of rust
Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of rust
