Mike Ryan
Blink You’ll Miss It
[Verse 1]
I'm from Could Be Anywhere, America
Population four hundred and three
Just keep a' goin' 'til you see that pump jack
Take a left where Gunny's feed store used to be

[Verse 2]
Grandpa sent me in to get his liquor
'Cause the truck would die if you let off of the clutch
Back then I didn't know that towns got bigger
'Cause back then I didn't worry about that much

[Chorus]
Ridin' shotgun meant you gotta get the gate
Daddy worked hard every day 'cept when it rained
"'Cause I said so, that's why" is all Mama had to say
We all wave at folks when they pass through, Blink You'll Miss It, U.S.A

[Verse 3]
My cousins all came over on Thanksgiving
We'd get hollered at to go outside and play
Past the cottonwood was a touchdown
Uncle Charlie's truck was out of bounds
Two-hand-touch, but we tackled anyway
When it gets dark enough nothin's open in town
We all loaded up and drove around

[Chorus]
Ridin' shotgun meant you gotta get the gate
Daddy worked hard every day 'cept when it rained
"'Cause I said so, that's why" is all MAma had to say
We all wave at folks when they pass through, Blink You'll Miss It, U.S

[Bridge]
Ain't much to do, ain't much to look at
Ain't much at all that I would change
Yeah we still wave at folks when they drive pass
Cuss the ones that drive too fast
In Blink You'll Miss It, U.S.A

[Outro]
I'm from Could Be Anywhere, America
