In my hometown
Population just a few thousand
All of those kids at the drive in
After Friday nights football game

That’s the same place
Mom and dad went on their first date
Had the same burger I just ate
Man some things never change

That’s what made me who I am today
Gave me a million songs to play
When the radios on I just don’t understand

Because tractors ain’t sexy
And workin is hard
For small town people like me
And the radios full of rich folks singin
About places they’ve never seen
And I ain’t sayin their lives ain't 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
Running my mouth like an old man
Talking about a world that’s changing
And how its given up on me

And I’m just saying
Down at Nick's on a weekend
Small town anthems they’re singing
Don’t sound like what you see

When you talk about the dairy queen
Pickup trucks and Springsteen
Make the place I love
Sound like a bad cartoon

Because tractors ain’t sexy
And workin is hard
For small town people like me
And the radios full of rich folks singing
About places they’ve never seen
And I ain’t sayin their lives ain't hard
I'd love to hear about it sometime
Let 'em sing about their own life
And I’ll sing about mine

If you want a song about
A place like my hometown
Take a weekend to come on down
It won’t take long to see

Because tractors ain’t sexy
And working is hard
For small town people like me
And the radios full of rich folks singing
About places they’ve never seen
And I ain’t saying their lives ain’t hard
I’d love to hear about it sometime
Let 'em sing about their own life
And I’ll sing about mine

They can sing about their own life
And I'll sing about mine
