[Verse 1]
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
In the tiny town where I come from
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
You grew up doing what your daddy does
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
And you don't ask questions, you do it just because
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
You don't climb too high or dream too much
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
You can wind up right back where your daddy was
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">Am</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
This little bitty town, it ain't nothing new
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">E7</b>
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
<b class="chord">Am</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Fsus2</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">Am</b>
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
<b class="chord">C</b>
Yeah this one horse town
[Verse 2]
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
I'm an old married man at the age of 23
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
Got two little boys on the baseball team
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
And that might be their only ticket out
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
All they got is a worn out name
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
And a daddy that could've gone all the way
<b class="chord">Dm</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
But I hung my saddle up and I settled down
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">Am</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
This little bitty town, oh it ain't nothing new
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">E7</b>
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
<b class="chord">Am</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Fsus2</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">Am</b>
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
<b class="chord">C</b>
Yeah this one horse town

[Chorus]
<b class="chord">Am</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
This little bitty town, it ain't nothing new
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">E7</b>
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
<b class="chord">Am</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Swallow your pride just to keep your family proud
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">Fsus2</b> <b class="chord">F</b>
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down
<b class="chord">F</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town
