I was born in a small town
And lived in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
♪
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic, that's me
But I've seen it all in this small town
Had myself a ball in this small town
My wife was 13 years old when I wrote this song
Now she's small town, just like me
No, I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
Cannot forget the people who love me
I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
♪
Got nothing against a big town
Man, I'm still hayseed enough to say "Look who's in the big town"
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Probably die in this small town
Oh, that's probably where they'll bury me

I just want to say that
Thanks for coming out here to hear us play on the street today
We've been doing this for about a week and a half now
And this is the biggest turnout we've had
So thank you very much
I also want to say that this is not a concert
I'm just playing on the street
So if you can't hear, I'm sorry
But we didn't bring a big PA system
Because we didn't want it to be a concert
I'm not selling nothing
Just so you know what's happening here
I'm not selling nothing
I ain't promoting nothing
I'm just here, back here giving to the people
Who've been so great to me
For 25 years, thank you very much
